India Calls for UNSC Transparency, Warns Against Legitimising Terrorists
New Delhi has highlighted concerns over the use of Security Council membership to serve narrow political interests and delay key appointments, impacting the body's credibility.
India has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to adopt greater transparency in its sanctions decisions, cautioning against the use of its membership to legitimise individuals designated as terrorists or to pursue narrow political interests. The nation has previously voiced concerns over practices it describes as a “disguised veto”, particularly highlighting issues within the 1267 Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee.
New Delhi also pointed to the detrimental effects of delays in appointing chairs for the Council's subsidiary bodies, stating that such postponements undermine the effectiveness and credibility of the principal UN organ. This stance underscores a broader call for reforms within the Security Council's operational framework.
Beyond sanctions, India has advocated for more significant involvement of elected members in key United Nations processes. The nation's representatives have stressed the imperative for the Council’s fundamental structure to evolve, reflecting the profound global changes that have occurred since its establishment in 1945. This push for reform aims to ensure the Security Council remains a relevant and representative body in contemporary international affairs.
