Reform UN Security Council to Maintain its Credibility: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday made a strong pitch for reforms in the UN Security Council saying it is necessary to make it relevant to the current world.
“The Security Council and the United Nations should be reformed so that its credibility is maintained, “ Modi said in his speech at the UN summit on sustainable development.
Modi’s pitch for UNSC reforms comes amid India’s strong bid for a permanent seat in the expanded powerful world body.
“70 years back, when the horrific second World War came to an end, this organisation came into being, raising hopes of people around the world. We have gathered here to decide a new direction,” he said addressing the UN session.
Leaders from across the world were gathered at the summit to formally approve an ambitious and costly 15-year blueprint to eradicate extreme poverty, tackle inequality and combat climate change. Modi in his speech in Hindi called for a global focus on climate justice rather than climate change saying it will also take into account the concerns of the poor.
“In our efforts to combat climate change we need to stress on those systems that will enable us to achieve our goals. We need to build a global public particapation that will help us use technology, innovation and finance in making clean and renewable energy easily available,” Modi said in his speech at the
He said eradication of poverty is the responsibility of countries as they aim to bring peace and sustainable development.
“The world talks of public and private sector. We are looking at the personal sector. This for India means individual enterprise and innovation,” he said.
On the issue of climate change, he maintained that common but differentiated responsibility is the basis for dealing with this challenge.
In this context, he asked the developed nations to fulfil their responsibility of sharing technology, innovation and finances with the developing countries without having any “selfish interest”.
Modi said the aims of Agenda 2030 are ambitious and expansive in that it gives importance to the right issues and is a mature response to issues concerning the economy and environment
Modi began his speech quoting Mahatma Gandhi on the need to see beyond the forseeable future
Implementing the new development goals — expected to cost between $3.5 trillion and $5 trillion every year until 2030 — is the focus of the three-day sustainable development summit that includes speeches by Modi, US President Barack Obama, China’s President Xi Jinping and the leaders of Egypt, Iran, Germany, Britain and France.
The document — called Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development — which sets out 17 broad goals and 169 specific targets, will be adopted after opening speeches at the summit.
Its overarching aims of reducing poverty and inequality and preserving the environment are expected to dovetail with an address to the UN General Assembly by Pope Francis immediately before the summit opened.
The 17 non-binding goals will succeed the eight millennium development goals adopted by world leaders 15 years ago. Despite significant progress, the only one achieved before this year was halving the number of people living in extreme poverty, due primarily to economic growth in China.
Among the other new goals are ensuring “healthy lives,” quality education for all, clean water, sanitation and reliable modern energy - and achieving gender equality, making cities safe, reducing inequality within and among countries, and promoting economic growth.
