UN-REFORM 2 LST

The G4 (India, Japan, Brazil and Germany) favour
expansion to six more permanent seats and four non-permanent
seats. Two each of the new permanent members would be from
Asia and Africa, and one each from Latin America and Europe.
Most countries in the GA also favour expansion in both
categories, according to a report on recent negotiations.

Still no specifics have been worked out as yet."This
architecture was designed 60 years ago so it will not be easy
to undo that architecture and build a new structure," said
Puri "I would say that one has to be patient but one has to go
on trying."

The dialogue on Security Council reform is taking
place under the inter-governmental negotiations, started
during the previous session of the GA, chaired by the
Afghanistan envoy to the UN, Zahir Tanin. PTI BS
