Other 'major powers' deserve UNSC seats
Says Annan
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said yesterday certain "major powers" should play a bigger role in the world body but declined to name favourites for any new permanent seats on the Security Council.
"I have always maintained that no reform to the UN will be complete without a reform of the Security Council. We definitely need to bring the structure of the Security Council in line with today's reality," Annan said at a press conference here with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
"It is no longer acceptable the major countries and major regional powers are not at the table and these are the powers we turn to when we have problems in regions. But when it comes to the centre where these decisions are taken they are absent."
