UK Backs Permanent Seats for India, Japan, Africa at UN Security Council

 

SOURCE: AFP The UK on Thursday announced its backing for an expanded UN Security Council, including a permanent spot for Africa, to reflect the current and future state of the world. 'We want to see permanent African representation and membership extended to India, Brazil, Germany and Japan,' said Foreign Secretary James Cleverly. 'I know this is a bold reform. But it will usher the Security Council into the 2020s,' he told the Chatham House foreign affairs think-tank in London. The UK is a permanent member of the Security Council with China, France, Russia and the United States, and sits with 10 non-permanent members elected by the UN general assembly for two-year terms.
