India demands EQUAL RIGHTS, not second-class status at the UN
India has called for veto powers for new permanent members of the UN Security Council, backing the Common African Position.
“New long-term seats without veto powers would create second-class members and perpetuate inequity,” India's envoy declared.
Why should five nations continue enjoying privileges denied to the rest of the world?
If the UNSC is serious about reform, new permanent members must have the same rights as existing ones.
