Azerbaijani President: UN Security Council is reminiscent of the past
Baku, July 5, AZERTAC
“Currently, international organizations, in particular, UN does not meet up to the expectations of the mankind. Inevitably UN needs to go through serious reforms,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as he addressed the Ministerial Meeting of the Non-Aligned Movement Coordinating Bureau in Baku.
“UN Security Council is reminiscent of the past and does not reflect the current reality. We advocate for the expansion of the composition of the Security Council to make it more representative and more geographically fair. I am glad that today there is a growing consensus on this idea worldwide,” the Azerbaijani leader noted.
“One permanent seat at the UN Security Council should be given to the Non-Aligned Movement. Countries holding the position of chair of the NAM, Organization of Islamic Cooperation and African Union should have their seats at the UN Security Council on a rotating basis with a veto right,” he added.
