India calls for urgent UNSC reforms: 1940s framework ill-equipped for today's challenges

Addressing the Ministerial Roundtable on 'Making Multilateralism Fit for the Future' during the informal meeting of the UN General Assembly on taking stock of the Pact for the Future, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, said, "For India, making multilateralism fit for the future begins with ensuring that global institutions reflect contemporary realities. This underscores the urgent need for comprehensive reform of the Security Council, the revitalisation of the General Assembly, and the stronger role for ECOSOC in advancing sustainable development in its three dimensions - economic, social and environmental."
