Aleksey Pushkov, head of the Federation Council’s commission on information policy and media interaction, believes that a clear principle for reforming the UN Security Council has not been established to date. He said that any representation of the Global South would lead to major changes in the entire structure of the organization. About this he wrote: her Telegram channel.
Reflecting the aspirations of the Global South, Security Council reform cannot be limited to giving Africa just one permanent seat. The parliamentarian wrote that such a reform would lead to major changes in the entire structure of the Security Council, as India, Brazil, Japan and some other countries could also raise the issue of membership.
From his point of view, the question of how Africa should be represented is still open: as a single state or alternately? Also, the UN system was created after the consequences of the Second World War, with the creation of the Security Council with the participation of the victorious powers. Pushkov believes that to date “not a clear and single principle has yet been resolved”.
