‘Reforming the UN means restructuring of the Security Council’. Do you agree with this statement? Give arguments for or against this position.

The statement ‘Reforming the UN means restructuring of the Security Council’ is true. The Security Council forms the most important part of the UN. The UNSC consists countries that are major economic, political and military powers in today’s world- USA, Russia, china, France and the United Kingdom. These five permanent members of the council also possess the veto power and collaborate in taking important decisions regarding the whole world. Besides, there are also 10 permanent members elected from all the continents for a term of two years. They represent their continent and have a platform for redressal of its woes. This group also consists of countries that are still developing and have various needs. Such countries get representation through UNSC. Higher involvement of countries all over the world on the platform of Security Council will also promote the ultimate motive of UN- peacekeeping.
