UN Reforms What is the issue. The United Nations commences the 75th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA).  Now more than ever, the need for internal reforms to suit the 21st century is high.  Volkan Bozkir is the Turkish diplomat who is the incoming President of the UNGA.  He has voiced concern that the structure of the 15-member UN Security Council (UNSC) ought to be more democratic and representative.  The action has been long overdue on the demand, especially from the G4 countries, which advocate a permanent seat for all of them.  [G4 countries - Brazil, Germany, India and Japan]  Meanwhile, the veto powers that the UNSC‘s five permanent members enjoy are an anachronism in this age.  This is wielded as a blunt weapon to shore up their geopolitical interests, regardless of the disastrous cost for the victims of armed conflict.  The push for reform gathered momentum following the unilateral declaration of war by the US and the UK, against Iraq, in 2003.  The UNGA‘s 122nd plenary meeting (2008) decided to facilitate the reform process through the Inter- Governmental Negotiations framework (IGN) on equitable representation as well as expansion of the UNSC.  The UNGA‘s adoption of a 2015 resolution to allow the IGN on the basis of a framework document generated some enthusiasm.  But, it was dampened by the U.S., Russia and China being opposed to serious reform of the Council.  In early-2020, the G4 bemoaned that the IGN process might have outlived its purpose given the absence of a negotiating document.  In any case, the exercise has been deferred in view of the pandemic.  India‘s election in June 2020 as a non-permanent member of the UNSC, obtaining 184 votes, was a diplomatic triumph.  But the reforms to the UN are just a part of a broader vision in the declaration to commemorate the UNGA‘s 75th anniversary.  This will make it difficult for India to achieve its ultimate objective to become a permanent member.  The UN remains unreflective of the current trajectory, especially in the strategic and economic arenas.  The multilateral framework now faces a challenge to fashion a collective response to humanity‘s biggest problems, which include the pandemic.  The post-war order faces an existential threat to its stability from the revival of nationalism across the globe.  All countries must have the voice to influence policy.
