12 countries propose expanding UN Security Council only with elected seats
The Uniting for Consensus group set out its model for UN Security Council reform: more elected seats, including longer-term ones, better representation for Africa, Asia and Latin America, and no new permanent members.
Twelve countries in the Uniting for Consensus group proposed reforming the UN Security Council by expanding only the category of elected members, including through longer-term rotating seats.
The group argues the model would address the underrepresentation of Africa as well as Asia-Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean. Its meeting on September 24, during the General Assembly’s high-level week, also called for better Council working methods and stronger ties between the Council and the General Assembly.
Reaffirming its opposition to new permanent seats, the group backed abolishing the veto and, in the meantime, limiting its use, notably in cases of mass atrocities and war crimes.
The group comprises Argentina, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Italy, Malta, Mexico, Pakistan, South Korea, San Marino, Spain and Türkiye.
