how much

0:01

longer how much longer will the will of

0:04

five members continue to override the

0:06

collective voice of

0:09

188 member

0:28

states

0:41

as we embark on the crucial task of

0:44

reforming or should I say

0:46

comprehensively reforming the United

0:48

Nations security Council to better

0:50

reflect the realities of our world the

0:53

Clarion call for equity which will be

0:56

the focus of my presentation resonates

0:59

louder than than ever I am most grateful

1:02

to the l69 chair for leading us on the

1:04

l69 model and wish to supplement that

1:08

presentation with six arguments why

1:11

Equity must be the Cornerstone of our

1:14

efforts

1:16

first the principle of equal opportunity

1:19

for

1:21

all co-chairs you will agree with me

1:23

that Equity demands that every nation

1:27

irrespective of its size or power be

1:30

afforded an equal opportunity and I

1:33

stress the word here equal opportunity

1:36

to shape Global decision

1:38

making as has been wisely

1:41

stated more than ever before in human

1:43

history we share a common Destiny we can

1:47

Master it only if we face it together

1:51

our question therefore is how much

1:54

longer how much longer will the will of

1:57

five members continue to override the

2:00

collective voice of

2:02

188 member

2:04

states this must

2:07

change my second

2:09

Point redressing centuries of

2:13

Injustice co-chairs I think we might all

2:17

broadly agree that the historical

2:20

injustices perpetrated against the

2:23

global

2:24

South can no longer be

2:26

ignored and it is time and it is time

2:29

time to rectify these disparities by

2:32

ensuring greater representation for

2:34

Regions like Asia Latin America and

2:37

Africa on the United Nations security

2:40

Council through a reform in both its

2:43

categories permanent and

2:45

non-permanent indeed Injustice anywhere

2:50

is a threat to Justice

2:54

everywhere my third point the Indian

2:57

example where bold leaders leadership

3:00

can lead to

3:02

change the inclusion of the African

3:04

Union as a full member of the G20 during

3:07

India's presidency serves as a powerful

3:10

Testament to the transformative power of

3:13

political will India's proactive stance

3:16

underscores that where there is

3:18

determination there is a path to

3:21

meaningful reform that will ensure

3:26

Equity my fourth Point amplifying

3:29

diverse words voices Equity does demand

3:32

co-chairs that the voices of the

3:34

marginalized and oppressed be elevated

3:37

on the world stage empowering nations

3:40

from the global South ensures that all

3:43

perspectives are heard and respected

3:45

that A diversity and democracy of voices

3:49

is brought to the table leading to more

3:53

inclusive decision making a more

3:55

inclusive Council and the operative word

3:58

is inclusive

4:00

to Foster broader consensus and

4:02

legitimacy in its decisions my fifth

4:05

point and so you might ask me what is

4:08

the vision well our reform must be

4:12

guided I would say by a bold vision for

4:15

a more Equitable and inclusive

4:18

World comprehensive reform across all

4:21

clusters under discussion including an

4:24

expansion in both the permanent and

4:26

non-permanent categories are imperative

4:29

to realizing this vision and might I

4:32

point out

4:34

co-chairs that expanding only in the

4:37

non-permanent category will not solve

4:39

the problem it will in fact not reform

4:43

not reform one category of the United

4:46

Nations security Council at all and in

4:49

fact will widen the

4:52

difference will widen the difference

4:55

between permanent and non-permanent

4:57

members even more than thereby

5:00

perpetuating

5:01

inequities instead of removing these and

5:04

thereby further entrenching a

5:06

dispensation that is no longer

5:09

relevant no longer relevant in the

5:11

current geopolitical

5:13

context this co-chairs is the heart of

5:16

the matter and so I

5:19

ask do we wish to perpetuate existing

5:23

inequities through an expansion in the

5:25

nonpermanent category only or do we wish

5:30

to remove

5:32

inequities through a comprehensive

5:34

reform that touches upon all aspects of

5:36

Reform as set out in decision

5:42

62557 co-chairs it is all very well to

5:45

reel off statistics these are impressive

5:47

indeed it is all very well to reel off

5:51

figures but and I do acknowledge that

5:54

there are many fundamental issues in

5:55

this discourse but the most fundamental

5:59

is this

6:01

question can we allow five permanent

6:04

members and we have all just agreed that

6:07

this permanent category is not going to

6:09

go away so can we allow five permanent

6:13

members to eternally override the

6:16

collective voice of 188 member

6:20

states let us not forget that this is

6:23

the whole purpose of this

6:25

reform to write historical Injustice to

6:29

ensure inclusive decision

6:32

making through an expansion we feel in

6:36

the permanent and non-permanent

6:38

categories of membership including a

6:41

reform in the working methods of the

6:43

council which also includes the question

6:46

of the
