India launches fresh bid for UNSC seat
New Delhi, Jul 8: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Tuesday, Jul 7 launched a reformed campaign for a seat in the UN Security Council (UNSC) using the forum of the G-8 summit.
Manmohan Singh said, "The Security Council has not changed at all and its present structure poses serious problems of legitimacy. The system of two-tiered membership, which gives a veto to the five permanent members ie the nations that emerged victorious after the Second World War, is clearly anachronistic."
