NEW DELHI: India may be pushing hard to get into the UN Security Council, but it hasn't stopped New Delhi from seeing this global high table as a high-value talk-shop, which is consistently failing to provide global solutions.

In a statement remarkable for its candour, India's top UN diplomat told the body that "democratic, inclusive and transparent" approaches are best found outside the Council. Speaking at a Council debate on peace and security challenges of small island developing states (SIDS), Permanent Representative Asoke Mukerji said in dealing with their problems, "it is clear that effective international cooperation on the concerns has been most viable outside the UN Security Council where a democratic, inclusive and transparent approach" can be taken.

Nevertheless, India has stepped up its efforts to move on the reform process. But it's facing significant challenges to its over-a-decade bid to reform the UNSC. The G-4 (India, Germany, Brazil and Japan) are trying to get a text-based negotiation going in the UN General Assembly, but with limited success. The new facilitator of the inter-governmental negotiations (IGN), Courtenay Rattray of Jamaica, has promised a working text which would be the basis for international negotiations on how to reform the UNSC.
