Finnish President Alexander Stubb has called for reforms of multilateral institutions, particularly the United Nations, advocating to double the permanent members of the UN Security Council from five to ten, with seats allocated to Latin America, Africa, and Asia. He also proposed abolishing the veto power and suspending voting rights for countries violating the UN Charter. Stubb emphasized the rising influence of middle powers in the Global South, including India, Egypt, and Brazil, which he said will shape the next world order amid a global realignment.
