India has taken the most aggressive, tough and historic stand on the global stage so far regarding securing permanent membership in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and major reforms in the outdated structure of this global organization. At the United Nations Headquarters, India has strongly criticized the recent ‘Elements Paper’ (draft proposal) prepared for the reform of the Security Council. India has bluntly stated in front of the international community that this document is completely biased, in which an attempt has been made to deliberately suppress the opinion of majority of the countries of the world and to hide the overwhelming support for the expansion of the Security Council. India’s newly appointed Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, while addressing a high-voltage meeting, presented India’s side and raised very strong questions on this attitude of the UN.

India’s strong attack on the old structure of the Cold War era and the arbitrariness of ‘veto power’ of 5 countries.
On the global stage, India made it clear that the United Nations Security Council has today become such an old and outdated structure of the ‘Cold War’ era, which is stuck according to the world of 1945 instead of today’s 21st century. The unlimited ‘veto power’ possessed by the 5 permanent members of the Council (P5 – America, Russia, China, France and Britain) completely ignores today’s global realities and works to suppress the voice of many developing countries including Africa and Latin America. This is the reason why India, Japan, Germany and Brazil (G4 Group) as well as many small island and African countries have been strongly demanding for years to change this veto system and give permanent membership to India.
Only two days’ time and majority ignored: Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni exposes UN paper
Keeping India’s strong position, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni raised objections on this controversial Elements Paper on many serious fronts. Highlighting the technical flaws, he said that this important paper was released on June 10 and the member countries were given only two working days to give such a big response on it, which is completely unfair and ridiculous. India raised the strongest objection that most of the countries of the world are in favor of increasing the permanent seats in the Security Council, but in this official paper, an attempt was made to deliberately dilute and weaken the voice of the global majority by writing ‘Support of some countries’. Parvathaneni clearly said that the terminology and definitions used in the paper are completely vague and have been written in a twisted manner at the behest of some powerful countries.
India rejected the issue of ‘regional seats’, said – now the round of meetings should stop and the deadline should be fixed directly.
In this government draft paper, a new proposal of ‘Fixed Regional Seats’ (regional seats) was made in the name of increasing permanent membership, which India rejected outright and declared a flop. India clearly believes that this formula of regional seats will never bring real stability and will cause great harm to the fundamental interests of small and developing countries. India has bluntly warned the United Nations that now the era of closed-door meetings, tea-breakfasts and endless discussions should be completely stopped. India has demanded that for real reforms of the Security Council, a formal ‘Negotiating Text’ should be prepared immediately, on which all the countries can directly negotiate face to face and a fixed deadline should be fixed to take this entire process to its completion.
On the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, India’s blunt statement to the world is its last warning to status quo countries.
It is noteworthy that this year the historic 80 years of the establishment of the United Nations (UN) are going to be completed, but from Ukraine war to Middle East crisis, this global organization has proved to be a complete failure in establishing peace in the world and saving its credibility. Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni has given a final and strong warning to those countries who want to delay this reform process indefinitely under the cover of complex rules and regulations of the United Nations to save their position or maintain the global status quo. After this historic meeting held on Monday, it has become completely clear that India is no longer in a mood to accept any kind of procrastination or half-hearted reforms and it is in the mood to fight tooth and nail for its permanent seat at the UN Security Council table.
