UN Fails to Address Current Realities, Says Modi

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for reforms to the United Nations on Sunday, expressing that organizations founded in the last century do not align with the world's "current realities." He made this statement during the G7 summit in Hiroshima.

According to a report by PTI, Modi expressed surprise at why the UN, which was established with the idea of promoting peace, is today failing in its role in conflict prevention. "Why hasn't the UN even accepted a definition of terrorism? If you think about it, one thing is clear: organizations created in the last century do not correspond to the 21st-century system," Modi stated.

He pointed out that the UN "does not reflect the current realities of the world." "Therefore, it is necessary to implement reforms in major organizations such as the UN," said the Indian Prime Minister.

The agency notes that India is considering the possibility of obtaining a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. The current permanent members of the UN Security Council are Russia, China, the United Kingdom, the USA, and France.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres also remarked during a press conference in Hiroshima that the time has come to reform both the UN Security Council and the Bretton Woods system to align with today's world realities. "The global financial architecture has become outdated, ineffective, and unjust... It has been unable to perform its primary function as a global security net," the Secretary-General stated.
