President Muhammadu Buhari, has on Wednesday, out-rightly rejected the composition of the United Nations Security Council.
Buhari made this rejection through the Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the UN, Prof. Tijjani Bande, in New York.
Recall, that the Security Council is the UN’s most powerful principal organ, with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, as well as accepting new members to the UN.
“First of all, the fundamental question is that in the current global reality, where everybody is talking democracy, United Nations must show an example.
“Clearly, it is an anachronistic notion to have a body composed of few countries, that can veto the entirety of the global community through the Council is not representative.
“It is an anomaly and I think that has been recognised, but the politics of the reform not just of the UN in terms of the powers of the General Assembly and its functions.”
The Nigerian envoy declared that Nigeria and some countries, currently left out, ‘rightly’ deserved a permanent seat on the Council, considering the current realities.
The body has five permanent members – the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, France, the People’s Republic of China, and the United States – and 10 non-permanent members, elected on a regional basis to serve two-year terms.
