NEW DELHI: Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on June 13 reiterated India’s position of making the UN decision-making bodies, including the Security Council (UNSC), more reflective of the demographic realities of the world.
The Minister said this while he was addressing a special commemorative seminar organised by the Indian Army to celebrate 75 years of UN peacekeeping in New Delhi.
“When India, the most populous nation, does not find a seat as a permanent member of the UNSC, it tends to undermine the moral legitimacy of the UN. Therefore, the time has come for making the UN bodies more democratic and representative of the current realities of our age,” Rajnath Singh said.
Rajnath Singh has also called for innovative approaches and enhanced cooperation among responsible nations to ensure the safety and effectiveness of United Nations (UN) Peacekeepers who are deployed in violence-hit regions to maintain stability, prevent conflicts and facilitate the restoration of peace.
