UN reflects realities of 1945, not 2025: Jaishankar calls for urgent reforms

NEW DELHI: External Affairs Minister (EAM) S. Jaishankar on Thursday said the United Nations continues to mirror the world of 1945 rather than the realities of 2025, stressing that the need for reform has become urgent.

However, he noted that the process of reform is being used to "derail the agenda", which allows historical injustices to persist.

Speaking at the United Nations Troop Contributing Countries Chiefs' Conclave (UNTCC 2025) in New Delhi, Jaishankar said that India's approach to peacekeeping is rooted in its civilisational ethos and guided by the principle of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' -- the belief that 'the world is one family'.
