New Delhi: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in his address at the 79th session of the UN General Assembly on Thursday, voiced support for Indian representation, as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The development comes a day after US President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron batted for India’s addition as a permanent member of the UNSC.
Addressing the General Assembly, the UK Prime Minister said that “the Security Council has to change to become a more representative body, willing to act – not paralysed by politics”. “We want to see permanent African representation on the Council, Brazil, India, Japan and Germany as permanent members, and more seats for elected members as well”, said the UK PM.
Currently, the United Nations Security Council consists of five permanent members and 10 non-permanent members. The non-permanent members are elected by the United Nations General Assembly for a two-year term. The five permanent members—Russia, the United Kingdom, China, France, and the United States—hold the power to veto any substantive resolution.
