Unsc Reform Process

The lack of adequate geographic representation in the UNSC is responsible for its failures, and giving Africa permanent membership will be essential to make the top UN body effective, R. Ravindra, charge d'affaires of India's UN mission has said.

As the UN General Assembly decided to roll over the Inter-Governmental Negotiations on Security Council reform to its next session, India has termed it as "yet another wasted opportunity" and said the process could well go on for another 75 years.

India has said that the UN Security Council is finding itself unable to act effectively to address increasingly complex issues of international peace and security as it lacked inclusivity of those who need to be members of the powerful organ of the world body.

India along with the other G-4 nations today strongly criticised the "very frustrating" developments in the UN Security Council reform process this year, expressing their displeasure and disappointment at the lack of transparency in negotiations, even as the General Assembly President expressed satisfaction over movement made in reforming the most ...

India has demanded transparency in the UN Security Council reform process so that the people could know what is preventing the members from translating discussions into a negotiating text for the much needed revamping of the world body's top organ.

To win permanent membership of the UN Security Council, India has offered to forgo veto power initially as a bargaining chip to get the reform process moving. "The issue of veto is important, but we should not allow it to have a veto over the process of Council reform itself," India's Permanent Representative at the UN, Syed Akbaruddin, said on Tue...

As differences persist among UN member states on the key issue of veto, India has asserted that the topic cannot be allowed to block the process of Security Council reform and called for consolidating the negotiating text on the basis of convergence reached so far.

The long-pending UN Security Council (UNSC) reform process got a much-needed breakthrough after efforts led by India resulted in the adoption of text-based negotiations in 2015, a year that also saw the world body grappling with the emergence of terror group ISIS, climate change and refugee crisis.

Moving the long-pending UN Security Council (UNSC) reform process forward, the chair of the inter-governmental negotiations will convene a series of meetings beginning in February next year, a development that bodes well for India which has been demanding an early completion of the process.

The US has acknowledged that it has disagreement with India over the process of UN Security Council reforms, but said it is committed to India's inclusion as a permanent member of the powerful wing of the world body.
