New Delhi: India has rejected proposals to expand only the non-permanent category of the UN Security Council, warning that such a reform would be "bordering on failure" and would leave the decision-making power of the five permanent members (P5) unchanged.
Addressing the Intergovernmental Negotiations (IGN) on United Nations Security Council reforms in New York on Monday, India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Harish Parvathaneni, raised strong objections to the latest Elements Paper and called for text-based negotiations and a clearer roadmap for achieving meaningful reform.
