United Nations: The United Nations is completing its 80th anniversary next year. Meanwhile, India has stressed that it is necessary to reform the organization to maintain its ‘relevance’ in dealing with current and future global challenges. This year, leaders around the world signed ambitious agreements to promote global governance change and sustainable action. When world leaders gathered at UN Headquarters in September for the high-level 79th session of the General Assembly, they unanimously adopted the historic ‘Treaty for the Future’. This document covers topics ranging from peace and security, sustainable development to climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender issues, youth and future generations and global governance changes.
India’s stand is clear
India has been at the forefront of efforts over the years to reform the Security Council, including expanding its permanent and non-permanent categories. India says the 15-nation council, established in 1945, is not fit for 21st century purposes and does not reflect contemporary geopolitical realities. India has underlined that it rightfully deserves a permanent seat in the Council.
PM Modi had said this
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said during his address at the UN’s ‘Future Summit’, “Reform is the key to relevance. Global action must match global ambition.” At such a time, Modi said from the platform of the UN General Assembly. The call for change comes as the world grapples with conflicts including the Russia-Ukraine war, the Israel-Hamas war and terrorism, the climate crisis, economic inequality and attacks on women’s rights. Amidst these global challenges, India has consistently advocated dialogue and diplomacy to reach solutions and resolve conflicts.
What did S Jaishankar say?
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar’s address during the General Assembly in September reflected a strong Indian stance. He warned Pakistan that the neighboring country’s “policy of cross-border terrorism” will never succeed and it will “definitely have to face the consequences of its actions.”
What did the UN Secretary General say?
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres underlined the need for reform, saying, “It is a known fact that addressing the challenges of the 21st century requires problem-solving mechanisms that are more effective and inclusive. We cannot build a future fit for our future generations through a system that was built for our past generations.” Guterres said that many of the pressing issues that are pressing today could not have been imagined when the multilateral framework of the United Nations was created in 1945. Was done. The ability of the United Nations to maintain peace and security is under question.

Meanwhile, let us also tell here that Pakistan will join the Security Council as a non-permanent member for a tenure of two years from January 1, 2025. It should come as no surprise that Pakistan will use this tenure to raise the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. The world body may also face uncertainties due to the return of Donald Trump as US President in 2025. Trump is known for criticizing the United Nations. (Language)
