The UNSC Is Outdated, We Need An Institution Of The Future | Ruchira Kamboj | Samir Saran |

Shifting the Balance: Perspectives on United Nations Security Council Reform from Global South Think Tanks | The Charter of the United Nations was signed on 26 June, 1945 at the conclusion of the UN Conference on International Organization in San Francisco, and came into force on 24 October 1945. This provided for the creation of, inter alia, the Security Council, which was to be comprised of 5 permanent members and 6 non-permanent members who were to be elected by the General Assembly for a period of two years.

The international community today stands at a critical juncture. The emergence of transnational security challenges, the breakneck speed of technological advancements, and supply chain disruptions, coupled with the reversal or slowdown of globalisation and the pressure of climate change have created new challenges for nations worldwide. The global consensus that used to underline the spirit of international collaboration has frayed in recent years impairing the ability to tackle many vital questions that can enrich peace and strengthen security. This has created a crisis of credibility for the United Nations (UN)-led multilateral framework, particularly for the UN Security Council (UNSC).
