UN lacks credibility and, to large degree, effectiveness: Jaishankar

Op India  

Reiterating the need for reforms in the United Nations, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said the world body lacks credibility and, to a large degree, effectiveness. We do believe today that a United Nations where the most populous country is not in the Security Council, when the fifth largest economy is not there, when a continent of 50 plus countries is not there, that United Nations obviously lacks credibility and to a large degree effectiveness as well. Earlier, addressing the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City, Jaishankar called on the United Nations to ring in urgent reforms to stay relevant in the contemporary world, saying that the issue cannot remain “indefinite” and “unchallenged”. He said that a particular model of globalisation has evolved over the past 25 years but the world now is “badly in need of some form of reglobalisation.” In his opening remarks at the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC, Jaishankar said, “If you put it together, I would suggest to you that the world is badly in need of some form of reglobalisation, that globalisation itself is undeniable.
