Reform UN Security Council to Maintain its Credibility: PM Modi

[Donald Trump]

The only factor in being a part of the P5 was to have been a major independent power on the Allied side of WW2. Nothing else.

India was not a country back then, so that's why they weren't included.

You have a point there. But isn't it time that the SC was reorganized? Soon after WWII there were 50 nations, now 190. The whole scenario has changed. The world has changed. There needs to be better representation now.

Include at least one country in the SC as a permanent representative from every continent and scarp veto powers. It should then be a majority vote that carries through.

That's the thing. Geopolitics isn't about what is "right" or not. It isn't about who is worthy or not (I would argue that every country is equally unworthy).

Geopolitics is entirely about a country's own national self-interests. Not about serving the interests of foreign countries.

There is no reason why the P5 would voluntarily dilute their own veto power, and put their own resolutions at the mercy of being vetoed by yet another country. Do you know how difficult it is to pass ANY resolution with 5 veto powers? It's nearly impossible as it is already.

So far China/Russia/America have all stated they do not support "any alteration or expansion" of the veto power, and honestly why would they? It doesn't make any sense.

India is also trying to further their own national self-interests, by seeking veto power in the first place.

The difference is that the UN charter gives the P5 pretty much full control over any amendments or reforms in the UNSC. To amend or reform it, you need the support of 100% of the P5 members, and good luck convincing even a single one to give up and dilute their own power for the benefit of a foreign country.

If reforms include all Nations have same power i.e no country has veto power, then I support reforms.

Apart from India, There is no representation of 1.5 Billion Muslims either on the same ground that among st them their is none of the victors of WW2.....So, Basically...in order to revamp the Security council, One needs to defeat all P5 or even a sub group(US, GB, Fr) in actual battle once again bcz current system is in place for the victors of WW2 no one else.

"We" needs to antagonize US+GB+Fr vs Rus+China against each other to finish that system altogether.

Hmmmm....world moving towards that direction slowly but steadily....!

The P5 had many opportunities to fight each other already.

China seized the Scarborough shoal from the Philippines in 2012, and the Philippines has a "mutual defence treaty" with America, so America was under oath to come and help them.

Instead the US abandoned their mutual defence treaty, while their treaty ally was actively losing territory.

America also promised to uphold Ukraine's territorial integrity, and was also an ally of Georgia, yet they sat back as Russia annexed territories from both.

Hell, America wouldn't even help their treaty ally South Korea while North Korea was killing hundreds of their Naval personnel in 2010 (sinking the Cheonan). That's only North Korea, and still they wouldn't do anything.

Eastern Ukraine is on fire as we speak, and still America does nothing.

The truth is they don't care. They only attack those that can't fight back, like the countries in the Middle East.

Keep one thing remember, all the current P5s at one time are the recipient of aggression in WW2 Initially and absorb considerable damage, destruction & death from the opponents.....This time, majority battles are taking place in Muslim Lands.....Now do the math at your convenient.
