Legitimacy, credibility of UN must be preserved by updating it: India
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: India has cautioned against “smokescreen” efforts towards a "mere tinkering" of the existing UN Security Council framework, saying this could indefinitely postpone significant elements, such as expansion in permanent membership and addressing under-representation of Asia, Africa and Latin America to a "very distant future".
These remarks were made by India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador P Harish at the annual UN General Assembly plenary on ‘Question of equitable representation on and increase in the membership of the Security Council’ on Monday.
He said that in spite of several decades of collective reiteration of the urgent need for the UNSC reform, it is “disheartening that we have had no results to show in this regard since 1965, when the Council was last expanded in the non-permanent category alone.”
