Foreign Affairs Select Committee calls for India to get UN Security Council Seat
4 05 2007
The House of Commons Foreign Affairs Select Committee publishes its report on South Asia today. In it the Committee argues that “given India’s size, economic growth and large contribution to the work of the United Nations, there is a compelling case for granting it a permanent seat on the security council, as part of wider reforms of the United Nations”. The report also explores the nuclear tests carried out by India and Pakistan in 1998, the leading role India is playing in developing renewable energy sources and generally notes that the UK and India enjoy excellent bilateral relations on a wide range of shared interests.
A copy of the report is available here.
Instead of giving out new seats, the UN should be reformed into a more democratic organization, specifically: http://www.UnitedDemocraticNations.org

I am agree with gary’s writing “Instead of giving out new seats, the UN should be reformed into a more democratic organization, specifically: http://www.UnitedDemocraticNations.org” I think this is a good idea and we have to reform the United Nations and we have to learn from our mistakes we made in past on UN platform.
