NDTV
The reform of the United Nations itself has been left open-ended, without a set timeline, said a concept note by India.
Asserting that UN reform has been left open-ended without a set timeline and the Security Council far from reflecting true diversity, a concept note by India said new global challenges such as terrorism, radicalism, pandemics, disruptive role of non-State actors, and intensifying geopolitical competition call for a robust multilateral response and nimble platform to ensure peace.
India, the current President of the 15-nation UN Security Council, will hold signature events on reformed multilateralism and counter-terrorism that will be chaired by External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on December 14 and 15.
The first signature event will be a ministerial-level open debate of the Security Council on ‘New orientation for reformed multilateralism' under the item ‘Maintenance of international peace and security'.
The concept note by India on the topic has been issued ahead of the meeting and India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj has asked that it be circulated as a document of the Security Council.
