S Jaishankar Calls for Urgent UN Reforms Amid Security Council Gridlock
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar criticized the United Nations for being gridlocked and largely irrelevant in addressing major global crises like conflicts in the Gulf and Ukraine. He highlighted the UN Security Council's failure to represent global interests amid expanded membership and called for urgent reforms. Jaishankar noted resistance to change, with some countries invoking Africa to block reforms, though African nations have expressed clear positions. He emphasized the need to fix the UN rather than bypass it to restore its effectiveness.
