General Assembly to debate UNSC expansion today
The UN General Assembly is to open a debate Monday on a draft resolution submitted by the so-called G4 -- Japan, Germany, Brazil and India -- on a proposed expansion of the Security Council, assembly sources said Friday.
They said the debate would start at 3:00 pm (1900 GMT) and might run until Tuesday depending on the number of speakers.
The draft resolution, already submitted by the Group of Four to the UN Secretariat Wednesday, provides for an expansion of the UN Security Council from the current 15 members to 25, with the creation of six new permanent seats without right of veto and four non-permanent seats.
