Many are talking about reform of the 70 years old UNSC these days, but there seems to be no universal solution given the status quo of P5, various restraints of G4, G4+2, voices of the "Coffee Club", etc.
Who came up with the idea of UNSC in the first place? Naturally, it came from the only country that got out of WWII in one piece while rest of the world was one huge pile of debris. "The Four Policemen" was a term coined by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, to refer to four major Allies of World War II and founders of the United Nations (UN): the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and Republic of China, symbolized his conception of the post-World War II world. Then France was somehow included later, forming the UNSC P5 today.
What if WWII ended differently?
Well these are all pure hypothetical of course, say if Pearl Harbour didn't happen, US stayed isolationist, Japan completely defeat Chiang Kai Shek, Germany ran over Stalin, then Churchill. The world map would have looked very different, Imperial Japanese Empire and the Third Reich would have huge sovereign soil, while the rest of the world either succumb to the two empires or desparately trying not to.
With rich resources from the Asia, Europe, Africa and Australasia, the two empires might eventually conquer North America. By then the new UNSC is formed, with have only two members, the UNSC P2.
Well of course all these are hypothetical, scary enough though! But just be reminded what UNSC was about, the very purpose was to prevent another world war.
Both contemporary Japan and Germany are great countries, while at the same time they are so powerful that probably are the only two countries capable of changing world outlook, in a positive way or otherwise. Great powers come with great responsibilities, hope Japan and Germany can continue to embrace pacifism for the betterment of the world.
Peace!
