India Urges UNSC Reforms and Transparency in Terror Listing ProcessesPreviousNext

India has called for urgent reforms to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), emphasizing the need for expanded membership that better represents the Global South and reflects current global realities. At the UNSC Open Debate on Working Methods, Ambassador Yojna Patel highlighted concerns over the Council's inability to effectively address conflicts and stressed that its membership must not be used to pursue narrow political interests, particularly regarding the listing and delisting of terrorist entities. India urged greater transparency, objectivity, and accountability in these processes, criticizing political interference that undermines the Council's credibility. The country also called for comprehensive reforms including changes to veto powers and decision-making procedures, achievable through text-based negotiations with clear milestones.
