India calls for urgent UNSC reforms: 1940s framework ill-equipped for today's challengesUN not been able to move needle on Security Council reforms: India

India's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, called for urgent reforms to the United Nations Security Council during a meeting of the UN General Assembly on July 15, 2026, arguing the current 1940s framework is ill-equipped for modern challenges.

India emphasized that the UN has failed to advance meaningful changes to the Council's structure, a stance that matters as global powers increasingly question the legitimacy of existing multilateral institutions.
