UNGA Initiates Dialogue on Security Council Reform Amid Israel-Hamas War
For years, nations such as India, Brazil and South Africa have called for the expansion of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). However, the process has remained stalled, with no timetable set for reforming the body.
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has begun a dialogue on the issue of Security Council reform.
President of UNGA Dennis Francis said during the debate that differences among the five permanent members have hampered the UNSC's ability to move forward with decisions on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
"Violence and war continue to spread in regions across the world, while the United Nations seems paralyzed due largely to the divisions in the Security Council," the UNGA Chief said during a debate on the unfolding crisis in Gaza.
Francis added that the UN would continue to lose its relevance without the Security Council reforms.
"Absent structural reform, its performance and legitimacy will inevitably continue to suffer – and so too, the credibility and relevance of the UN itself," he elaborated.
While calls for UNSC reforms have been made for decades, the issue has gained more prominence recently, especially when geopolitical tensions have been rising.
During the annual UNGA session in September, UNSC reforms were one of the most spoken-about
topics by world leaders.
Moreover, the UNSC's inability to put up a unified stand on conflicts, such as the Israel-Hamas war, has stressed that urgency.
