UN Chief Guterres Urges Security Council Expansion to Include Emerging Powers

The UN chief has renewed his call to overhaul the Security Council. He says its post-World War II structure no longer reflects modern geopolitics and leaves many developing nations sidelined. Guterres argued that institutions must adapt to rising powers in Africa, Asia and Latin America. He believes a more inclusive Council would restore trust in international decision-making. Despite years of debate, member states remain divided over council size, composition and veto powers. Critics warn resistance from some permanent members could block meaningful reform.
