UN General Assembly
2014

Council remains the monopoly of a restricted number of countries. That privilege, which dates back to the Second World War of the last century, no longer reflects international geopolitical reality and does not take into account the profound transformations that have taken place throughout the world.

It is therefore critical to engage as soon as possible in negotiations on the rules for expanding both permanent and non-permanent representation on the Security Council. The establishment of justice at the international level also entails reform of the world economic system to make it more equitable through greater promotion of the role of the United Nations in efforts to increase transparency, improve regulation of the financial system and promote the investment necessary to sustainable development.
