India has called for significant reforms at the United Nations (UN) during the 2024 summit, urging the global body to evolve in order to effectively address ongoing global conflicts. In his address, India’s representative at the UN stressed that the current structure and decision-making processes were inadequate in resolving crises that continue to affect nations worldwide.
India emphasized the growing need for reforms, particularly in the Security Council, to make it more representative of the current geopolitical realities. The country pointed out that global conflicts, including those in the Middle East, Africa, and other regions, have been exacerbated by the UN's slow response and lack of decisive action.
India’s call for reform echoes its long-standing stance for a more inclusive and reformed UN that reflects the interests of emerging economies and developing countries. The representative also highlighted the importance of strengthening multilateralism and ensuring that the UN can play a more proactive role in preventing conflicts, promoting peace, and addressing humanitarian challenges.
The Indian delegation's remarks reflect a broader dissatisfaction among many member states with the UN’s inability to resolve long-standing global issues. As the world faces new and evolving challenges, India’s call for change has been backed by several countries seeking a more efficient and fair global governance system.
