UN chief urges G20 to reform global institutions, international leaders call for reforming UN structure
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that global inequalities are reflected in international institutions.
Addressing the 79th United Nations General Assembly he pointed out that the UN Security Council was designed by the victors of the Second World War, when much of Africa was under colonial rule.
Guterres stressed the need for African representation on the council, while recognizing the potential resistance from those with political and economic power.
Brazilian President Lula da Silva highlighted the urgency of comprehensive reforms, stating that the current UN Charter fails to address some of humanity's most pressing issues. He called for a thorough review and revision of the Charter, focusing on the General Assembly's structure, working methods, and veto powers.
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa described the Security Council's current structure as "outdated and exclusionary," demanding the inclusion of African nations and others in the council's decision-making process.
Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong emphasized that reform should address the needs of all countries, not just increase the power of a few.
New Zealand's Permanent Representative to the UN, Carolyn Schwalger, expressed need for Security Council reform.
