Reforming The Un Security Council : Past and Future

Authors(2) :-Lal Vineet Singh, Dr. D. K. Bajpai

The Security Council is the executive wing of The United Nations whose primary responsibility is to promote and maintain peace and security in the world. To this end the council has been entrusted with extensive powers by the UN charter. This makes the council the chief and foremost body of the UN. But council has not been able to fulfill its lofty goal as per the vision of its founders. The reason behind its failure has been attributed to among other things its very structure which has remained unaltered ever since its inception. Therefore there has been a demand to reform the Security Council so that it reflects the realities of the modern world and is effective enough to fulfill its great mandate which is to protect and promote peace in the world at large.
