How India get permanent membership in UN Security Council?
Recently, prime minister Narendra Modi stressed the need for reform in the United Nations for world peace at the 'Summit of the Future' held in the US. His statement again highlighted India's long-standing demand that india be made a permanent member of the Security Council, but there are some major obstacles in moving in this direction, including opposition from some permanent members who want to maintain their global position.
The powers of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) include maintaining world peace and security, taking action in case of war, and imposing international sanctions. If india gets permanent membership, it will not only strengthen India's global position but will also strengthen the voice of developing countries.
First, understand why the Security Council was formed.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) was formed in 1945, when the United Nations was established. Its main objective is to maintain global peace and security. The Security Council was created in such a way that it can resolve international disputes and take effective action to prevent wars.
Major responsibilities of the Security Council
1. Maintaining peace and security: UNSC takes peacekeeping measures during global crises and conflicts.
2. Constitutional action: If a country poses a threat to international peace and security, the Council can take measures like sanctions or military action.
3. Peace mission: UNSC can establish peace missions in different areas, so that permanent peace can be promoted in conflict-ridden areas.
4. Interference in internal affairs: If the situation arising within a country affects international security, then UNSC can intervene.
