New York: India highlighted the ‘double standards’ of some of the member countries in terms of common security related on Monday at the UNSC briefing by India’s Permanent Representative to the UN Ruchira Kamboj.
Key Takeaways
- Talking about the security issues, she added that “Common security is only possible when countries respect each others’ sovereignty & territorial integrity, as they would expect their own sovereignty to be respected.”
- She further added, “Common security is also only feasible when all countries stand together against common threats such as terrorism.”
- India talked about the ‘double standards’ of some countries while “preaching others”.
- She further added “Common security is also possible only if countries respect agreements signed with others, bilateral or multilateral, and do not take unilateral measures to nullify those very arrangements.”
- Making a case in point, she pointed out the need of including African continents in the council as most of the issues discussed are related to the region.
- She further added that “Today’s meeting is an opportune moment to engage in a serious discussion about India’s call for reformed multilateralism, at the core of which lies the reform of the UN Security Council”.
- She also stressed that “there is a real danger of the United Nations being superseded by other plurilateral and multilateral groupings”.
