Very premature to comment on India getting a UNSC veto: Jaishankar

Minister of External Affairs S. Jaishankar, who ended a visit for a week to the United Nations, said it would be too early to comment on the position of countries, including India, taking the issue of whether there was a permanent membership for India to the security of the UN UN Council (UNSC) coming with Veto power . The minister spoke with the Indian press to the briefing on Saturday afternoon.

So I think it will be very premature to comment either in our own position or the position of others at this stage,” the Minister said, adding that at this stage, the emphasis was to ensure that there were some real basis for negotiations.

India has campaigned loudly, including this last week, for permanent seats on the council and currently the five permanent members (P-5) from the world’s best security agency have veto rights. While a number of countries have shown support for Indian membership, including the US and Russia, the question remains open, if this comes with Veto rights.

The initial point is the need to accept that there must be reform and then the need to develop a kind of practical path to it,” said Mr. Jaishankar in response to the question of Hinduism about the relationship between permanent membership and Veto.

At this stage the position is not improved and the country’s ideas will enter the “Pot smelting” before something appears, the Minister said.

It is extraordinary that after years of years, there is actually no text. So how do negotiations progress if there is no text and there is no progress and there is no stock taking? “Mr. Jaisankar said, added, that India advocated the current text-based negotiations, to ensure that the negotiation process between government (IGN)-the main work framework with UNSC reforms was deliberate-” serious “.

I think there is an appreciation that develops for the need,” said Mr. Jaisankar. He alluded to the reference that had been made by others about the reform of the Security Council in their public speech for a week, saying he felt changes in the mood to the old problems raised every year and that others told him that they had felt changes as well.

The address of Unga America and Russia contains explicit references for this problem. US President Csaba Kőrösi General Assembly in his Unga address last week, advising the reform of the Security Council, by saying it must reflect “reality of the 21st century” and “more equal” representing the world population.

However, a spokesman for the U.S. Foreign Ministry, Ned Price said last year that the US supported increasing permanent seats and not permanent in the body of 15-members, but did not support expanding or changing Veto. However, this was before the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February. Since then Veto’s right has been the subject of more intense supervision with Russia Vetoing,

several security council resolutions condemned and called for the invasion of the invasion. India has given abstain votes in these cases. New Delhi also found himself at the end of Veto, with China postponed terrorist sanctions by the 1267 UN sanction committee, including earlier this month, when it was holding a proposal to add the Lashkar-e-taiba commander ” Sajid Mir, sought for Mumbai 26/11 attacks, to the Sanctions List.
