The reform of the UN Security Council has
been on the table for the last 20 years. And there is been no progress. The
Permanent 5 (P5) are the ones blocking the change that should take place. They
have the veto power and believe that their standing in the world is above every
other nation. How can that be? How can France or the UK believe they yield more
power than India or Brazil?
It is now quite obvious that the reform
will not happen in the foreseeable future. As an alternative, it is important
to reinforce the authority and the legitimacy of other international groupings
of nations, such as the African Union, the EU or the Arab League. Their
capabilities to deal with matters of peace and security, as well as with
economic coordination and development should be seriously enhanced.
