Reshaping the UNSC Towards a Fairer & More Effective Institution | Dhruva Jaishankar | Raisina 2024

Raisina Dialogue 2024 | UNSC First: Reforming Multilateralism | As the world faces new wars, resurgent conflicts, and human crises, the United Nations Security Council’s ability to function effectively and fairly is being questioned ever more widely. Its permanent membership does not reflect the reality of representation and influence in the 21st century, and its resolutions’ efficacy is dwindling. The wars in Gaza and Ukraine are a strong indictment of the Security Council’s role; and thus, calls for its equitable and just reform must be answered.

Can the permanent members’ veto to serve narrow national interests in the UNSC be defended in the face of deepening and interlocking crises, and how can permanent membership be reformed?

How can the UNSC meaningfully accommodate more diverse perspectives and voices?

Can a reform of the UNSC be meaningful without reforming the outdated Permanent member composition which reflects the geopolitical reality of 1945?

What are the ways in which the UNSC can recover its lost credibility and authority?

Is the Summit of the Future a critical opportunity to save the UN and what tangible measures must be announced in a time bound manner?

Speakers:
Alexander Marschik, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Austria
Inga Rhonda King, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Saint Vincent and Grenadines
Tareq M. A. M. Albanai, Permanent Representative to the United Nations, State of Kuwait
Eenam Gambhir, Joint Secretary (UNP), Ministry of External Affairs, India
