WASHINGTON: Delaying Security Council reforms would cause “more human suffering and misery”, the G4 nations have warned while presenting a model for early action to restructure the UN’s highest decision-making body.
With “countless innocent lives” lost every day to ongoing conflicts, “we must collectively make every moment count”, India’s Permanent Representative P. Harish said on behalf of the G4 at the Inter-Governmental Negotiations (IGN) for Security Council reforms on Wednesday.
The G4 is made up of India, Brazil, Germany, and Japan, who advocate together for reforming the Council and also mutually support each other for permanent seats on a reformed body.
