NO PROGRESS ON UN SECURITY COUNCIL EXPANSION
Why in the news?
- Despite consistent efforts, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) reform and expansion have seen “no progress,” acknowledged by former Indian Ambassadors.
- The lack of progress is a significant frustration ahead of the upcoming Summit of the Future at the UN, expected to gather over 150 world leaders to discuss plans to “reboot” the UN.
Future Directions
- India and its G-4 partners (Brazil, Germany, and Japan) continue to demand permanent seats at the UNSC and have expressed their disillusionment with the current multilateral system.
- The upcoming “Pact of the Future” is expected to address these concerns, although significant tangible progress on UNSC reform remains elusive.
