Abstract

 The United Nations Security Council, created in the post­war context, doesn’t actually reflect the changes that have occurred in the international system after the end of the cold war. In the past fifty years or so, the global order has been changed massively. The developing nations including India now play a larger role in both the international economy and politics. But these changes are not reflected in the United Nations, where all decisions are still being taken by the five permanent members of the Security Council who wield the veto power. The UN Security Council reform has been lingering since 1992. If the UN still shies away from reforming the Security Council, the possibility of the institution being sidelined by emerging powers cannot be ruled out. The present Council does not reflect contemporary power realities and should therefore be reformed to reflect the new realities of the 21st century.

Keywords: United Nations; Security Council; Veto Power; Permanent Member; Restructuring.
