UN Security Council is in urgent need of reform in order to provide solutions to global conflicts and save lives, a panel of academics and scholars say in London
The panels aim to push for a fairer, more democratic and more representative structure in the Security Council.
The initiative will be broadcasted to audiences across the world with similar events being held in France, the US, Japan and South Korea. The main reason for this is the problems in the institutional structure of the organisation. It is a fact that Asian, Latin American and African countries are flagrantly excluded from representation in the UN Security Council,” said Communications Director Fahrettin Altun.“Our proposal for a solution, on the other hand, is to adopt the perspective expressed in the phrase 'The world is bigger than five,' which focuses on restructuring the UN Security Council.
The panelists oftentimes quoted a famous saying on the issue by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who said “The world is bigger than five” - a reference to the five permanent members of the UNSC.
