India has called for making United Nations permanent membership more representative, especially with Africa’s participation, highlighting that the political discord in the Security Council is affecting peacekeeping operations.
Making his first address to the Security Council yesterday, newly-appointed India’s Permanent Representative to the UN P Harish said, the lack of political unity in the Security Council, often witnessed in recent years, has negatively impacted UN peacekeeping. The Security Council needs to be more representative of today’s realities-particularly in the permanent category.
