UN Security Council Reform: Is it Time?

The permanent membership of the UN Security Council--comprising China, France, Russian Federation, the UK, and the United States--has remained unchanged since 1945, triggering debate over whether it should be reformed to better reflect the world today. Stewart M. Patrick, senior fellow and director of the International Institutions and Global Governance Program at the Council on Foreign Relations, outlines the debate and offers analysis of the promises and obstacles on the path to UNSC reform and expansion. Patrick says U.S. officials are "really ambivalent" on the question of Security Council enlargement despite President Obama's endorsement for India's and Japan's bids for permanent seats. This is in part because the United States is concerned whether the new members will adopt policies broadly consistent with U.S. worldview, he adds.
This video is part of The Internationalist, a series dedicated to in-depth discussions about leveraging multilateral cooperation to meet today's transnational challenges. For more visit The Internationalist blog: blogs.cfr.org/patrick/

    The biggest Reason for India to be in Security Council Permanent Membership is : It's the highest contribute contributer peace keeping force for UN... And that's what UN wants, how much u can contribute... And India is doing it very proudly... 2nd... India is the 4th most powerful nation in the world, 3rd Richest Country in the world in terms of GDP (purchase power).... 7th wealthiest in terms for GDP (nominal)....

    This is pretty old, but there has been zero progress on this. I think a break up of the UK would bring their seat into question, despite England's heft in that union. Permanent members should be required to make a minimum financial contribution or lose their veto rights. I see merit in the permanent members being divided more fairly by Geography.

    According from my history teacher, the term permanent members were created because most of the major powers at that time were not interested in this idea "security council", but without their contribution, the UN would simply fail just like the league of nations. So they decided to give these major powers a special power, so that's how the permanent members came from.

    If 'push came to shove' in peacekeeping scenarios, any UN peacekeeping effort would potentially fall-back and rely on the U.S.A for its unsurpassed logistics, that is, transportation and communicatons in over-the-horizon scenarios like in East Timor in 1999. This might explain USA reticence to reform the UNSC members to avoid its hand being forced to intervene with additional permanent UNSC with whom it has no kinship, that is, UN member-states without genuine and verifiable democratic tenets and institutions .

Second of all, the term of economic was really controversial, i can even argue that most of the nations now are economic colonies of US, since the US has exported its currency,its cultural or commonly known as the western culture through out the world.

    Several concerns I have about UN Security Council Reform: 1. If a nation decides to become a Permanent Member, then will they be willing to engage in actions, or just authorize the use of force? 2. If the Council gets expanded, let's say to 21 members, why couldn't the six new members be given semi-permanent status. Give them four year terms, then let them take four years off the Council? 3. Why don't non-permanent members be allowed to serve two consecutive two-year terms? If it's part of the UN Charter or a by-law of the Rules of Meetings of the Council, shouldn't the UN allow a waiver to let a non-permanent member a second consecutive term, say with a two-thirds supermajority of the UN? There might be a nation whose Ambassador, from a "Third World" nation whose personal prestige makes him/her worthy of a second term? Who's integrity is unquestioned? Who is seen as both a representative of the nation and of the UN? 4. Why can't the veto be reformed to reduce the power and allow just three out of five members of the P5 to pass a resolution? They P5 would still have a major voice on the Council. 5. Shouldn't some of the reforms of the Security Council be placed into another UN organ, such as the Economic and Social Council? Why shouldn't nations such as Germany and Japan be granted permanent status on the Economic Council?

    see. what i think is that Pakistan and India should settle up their disputes first and the behavior of these states towards each other should be Imperialistic rather than realistic. If this happens their boundary disputes will get resolved which is a big constraint for them in UN. and if they both make better relationships then obviously China would revise its policy towards India because of Pakistan too and this could lead to resolve one major issue of Indian permanent membership.

    I think you have really stressed the most important issues regarding a change in the existing structure of the UN SC. Nevertheless this discussion in my opinion focuses too much on historical arguments, such as China opposing Japan because of WWII or other states opposing Germany due to the same reason. The world community is in urgent need of a powerful executive organ, that is able to adopt legally binding resolutions quickly and is able to react to violations of international law with a certain intensity. On the other hand it is essential to include uprising powers into this process as otherwise a considerable part of the world's population would not consider the SC as a legitimate organ. At the end of the day the international community must face the facts and must in its struggle for a more peaceful world make compromises. The P5 have to be extended to ensure the legitimacy and the credibility of the SC as an executive organ for every citizen on this planet.

    1.) One has to be careful when assessing developing countries. Case in point: Brazil. In 2015, its GDP dropped almost 4%. Its president is engulfed in scandal and saddled with a 9% approval rating. 2.) Any country that wants to be a permanent member with veto power has to be able to do more than supply peacekeeping troops; it has to be able to wield military power to enforce UN resolutions. Frankly, only 1 of the current P5, the USA, can really meet this requirement. 3.) No country gives up (or even dilutes) its power voluntarily. At most, I can see the UK leaving the EU and France's seat becoming an EU seat. China would veto Japan (and probably India). I don't think that Japan minds too much due to its close ties with the USA. If India wants a seat badly enough, it will have to go to war and defeat either China or Russia. (Due to the USA, India can't go to war with either the UK or France.)

    Every country is hypocritical. Some are very hypocritical, but don't have much power. Some are less hypocritical, but have a lot of power, and so on. We were the first to get nukes. Obviously, we would have preferred to keep it that way. By the time that the nuclear club included the Soviets, China, the UK and France, the goal was to stop further proliferation. India managed to get nukes anyway. Good for you, just don't get into a nuclear war with Pakistan. Virtually everything has been coming and will continue to from American universities and research institutes. People from all over the world come here to learn; any discoveries are co-owned by us.

    I believe, just 5 countries can’t possibly decide the fate of the world. Additionally, All five of the current permanent members have caused a lot of wars and misuse their power to their personal gains. This world needs Peace & Prosperity NOT War & Hunger. In my opinion, more countries should also be members of permanent Security Council, who other than having influence, also have shown moral and peaceful history. 1. USA has been at war for over 95% of its existence, and it still is. Causing irreversible damage to many Countries. 2. China has mass-murdered hundreds of thousands of people to confiscate their land & resources (Tibet, Taiwan, India, Japan ect). It has boundary disputes with every nation it’s attached to along with water territory disputes. 3. UK has colonized, looted and murdered millions of people for its current bank balance(however, Today it’s not involved directly except Syria.) My question is, do we really want bullies, murderers and war-mongers as security of this world? It’s like asking a thief to guard your safe. These so called world powers force every country not to build nuclear weapons and limit/destroy the current nuclear arsenal; whereas, they have 99% of world’s nuclear weapons ranging between 16000-20000. These are more than enough to destroy the entire solar system (not literally). I wish to see a reform with a much larger Permanent Security Council, which has at least 15-20 Nations. Also, VITO needs to be replaced with a voting system to eliminate any ONE country's attempt to avoid progressive decisions to impose its personal gains.

    +Simply Logical Keep dreaming. This is how I see it: 1.) One has to be careful when assessing developing countries. Case in point: Brazil. In 2015, its GDP dropped almost 4%. Its president is engulfed in scandal and saddled with a 9% approval rating. 2.) Any country that wants to be a permanent member with veto power has to be able to do more than supply peacekeeping troops; it has to be able to wield military power to enforce UN resolutions. Frankly, only 1 of the current P5, the USA, can really meet this requirement. 3.) No country gives up (or even dilutes) its power voluntarily. At most, I can see the UK leaving the EU and France's seat becoming an EU seat. China would veto Japan (and probably India). I don't think that Japan minds too much due to its close ties with the USA. If India wants a seat badly enough, it will have to go to war and defeat either China or Russia. (Due to the USA, India can't go to war with either the UK or France.)

    SilvanaDil India has never attacked any nation in the recorded history and even today it dosent want to go to war with any. It just want others to stop attacking India, therefore it keeps strong defence for deterance. My point is, If you really want peace in the world and stop exploitation of the world. A new security council should be formed with each nation having a right to vote in making a decision. If any one or more countries disagrees with the decision of UN, Rest of the countries together have the right and strength to enforce sanctions until all are on the same page. No one country is stronger than the rest of the countries together. Technology is for the mankind and should be shared with all the nations equally to promote trust and further innovation. There are enough resources in the world, all nations can share equally and everyone can live proprous life. But greed wont let the greedy do the right thing, they will remain selfish and keep exploiting others for their personal gain.

    Looking at the G4 I think it's unrealistic that everyone will get a permanent seat at the Security Council, but maybe some of them. For example Germany: Britian, France and the US wouldn't veto Germany simply because they are alies. China wouldn't either, because they respect Germany as the european economic powerhouse and because Germany has important trade relations with them. Russia has no problems with being the bad guy, but Russia also has important trade relations with Germany and with the support of the other permanent Russia wouldn't veto Germany, but wouldn't support it either.They would most likely let it pass silently, because they don't want to get in trouble with the western countries. Germany also delivers more money to the UN budget, than Russia, the UK and France, but that is another point. Also Germany wouldn't be blocked by any other european country simply because there is no reason to. Also Germany has such an high influence in the European Union, that the EU wouldn't support a german candidacy for a permanent seat for sure. India would indeed be blocked by China, for obvious reasons. Also India isn#t even close to the amount the other G4 or P5 members are paying to the UN. Even tho Japan pays almost 10% of the UN Budget, which is the 2nd most after the US, I tihnk it would be blocked by China or Russia and maybe even by the US. China doesn't want Japan to gain any power. They aren't even supporting a candidacy for a non-permanent seat, so why would they support one for a permanent seat? Brazil is difficult. Brazil would most likely be blocked by local "enemies" like mexico or so. Brazil pays almost 4% of the UN Budget and is not in a serious diplomatic conflict with any of the P5 and it would be a permanent member from latin america. The only problem I see is Russia, because Russia is probably blocking anything, that decreases there national power, simply because they see themselves has a superpower. So the only country that has a chance is German. The Security Council would have 4 western countries, all members of NATO, as permanent members, which wouldn't represent the current world situation either.

    I think it is unthinkable to accept nations being dictatorial regimes like China and Russia being part of group of countries having veto powers. Why not establish an alternate and a new United Nations in somewhere in India (which best represents genuine democracy) without the clauses of veto power given to the five permanent members. Many countries would support that if India takes the initiative.

    I think the permanent members of un like france,england should be remove because they are small countries, area wise as well as population wise their potentials are less, they have less influence in global today. Countries like India and Japan are more powerful they have more potentials, India have huge potentials in every field today, India is extremely favourable for un permanent member also China is more powerful then united states so un council should removed from united states and should establish in china.

    It is a pity such an efficeient organization like UNO takes so much time to judge India with its 1.2 billion people should be noticed. Hope good sense will prevail in UNO and India will get its seat on UNESCO. Thanks to Modi who has shown the way to the UNO how to act,and when to act. As usual the truth is always bitter and very few people (or political leaders) can swollow. Kind Regards. Sunder T.
