UN General Assembly
2014

The ongoing reform of the United Nations must be comprehensive. We support a reform of the Security Council that reflects the interests of all Member States — small, medium-sized and large — and not the ambitions of a few. There should be no new permanent seats in the Council. That would be contrary to the democratic character of this world body. We want the Council to become more representative, equitable, accountable and transparent. We meet here today on the cusp of a new era for the international community. Never before has the United Nations embraced such lofty goals to banish poverty, stimulate development, protect the environment and foster peace, as it will during this session. The future of our planet hinges on our decisions. Let us deliver them with full responsibility and wisdom. Pakistan will assist the Assembly and the United Nations as a whole to make the world a better place for all humankind.
