United Nations: India has listened to the agenda-to-the-old agenda in the name of religion and faith. India has described it as an attempt to prevent real reforms in UNSC. The Bharti representative said that we strongly condemn the efforts to include new norms such as religion and faith as the basis of representation in the new United Nations Security Council. This is completely opposite to the accepted base of regional representation.
India’s permanent representative Ambassador to the United Nations, P. Harish, said these things in the inter-governmental talks (IGN) meeting on ‘Cluster Discussion on the Size and Regional Representation of Future Council’. He said that those who oppose the rules based negotiations do not want progress on the United Nations Security Council reforms. The attempt to form new norms such as religion and faith for representation in the new council is completely opposite to regional representation, which has been an accepted basis for representation in the United Nations. ‘
Regional representation meets the test of time
India said, “The new council with proper work methods and accountability mechanisms will be able to work meaningfully on important global issues.” India insisted that a model in which both permanent and temporary categories do not expand will not be able to achieve the purpose of improvement and the situation will remain unchanged. Prior to these comments, Harish made a statement from the G-4 countries Brazil, Germany, Japan and India, in which the group emphasized that regional representation is an approved trend, which has lived up to the test of time in the United Nations.
The current form of the United Nations has become old
The G4 countries said, “The form of the United Nations currently is of another era, it is no longer present and the current geopolitical conditions demand a review of this form.” Currently there are five permanent members in the Security Council – China, France, Russia, Britain and America. The remaining 10 members are selected as non-established members for a two-year term. India last joined the council as a non-established member in 2021-22. (Language)
