'World does not give things easily, sometimes one has to seize it': EAM Jaishankar on India's permanent UNSC membership
FirstpostHighlighting the increasing global backing for India’s permanent membership at the United Nations Security Council, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that sometimes things are not given generously and one has to seize it. On the relevance of the UN, the EAM said that in many ways, the limitations of the UN are now showing and that the organisation used to be more relevant in the 1950s-60s.United Nations is getting more and more ineffective in confronting key issues, he said, “The UN used to be more relevant in the 1950s-60s, but as the number of country’s grew, it was easier for the permanent members to dominate the smaller countries. He highlighted the division of power in the UNSC and said, “Those who have acquired dominance, especially economic dominance, will, through the process of negotiation and shaping of narrative, often create a system that would appear fair, even if they are not.” He also said that even though there are talks of free trade, there are cases of “cherry picking” aiming to freeze leads acquired by the countries. Recently, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov hailed the G20 communique under New Delhi’s presidency, and affirmed Moscow’s support for India’s candidacy as a permanent member of the UNSC.
