G-4 for UNSC reform , multilateralism

United Nations Security Council Membership for G-4 Nations ! India and Other Group-4 (G-4) countries reaffirmed their commitment to Multilateral-ism and called for the early reform of the UN Security Council (UNSC) on Tuesday. Hours after U.S President Donald Trump pilloried multilateralism in this address to the UN General Assembly , Foreign Ministers of Brazil, Japan and Germany Aloysio Nunes Ferreira, Taro Kono and Heiko Maas , respectively were hosted by External Affairs minister Sushma Swaraj for the G-4 meeting. "The G-4 Ministers reaffirmed their commitment to multilateralism. G-4 Ministers stressed that adapting the UN to the contemporary needs of the 21st century necessarily required reforming the Security Council," the group said in a statement.

American Disinterest
Given the American disinterest in the UN and other multilateral bodies, china , one of the five permanent member of the UNSC, has slowed down the move to expand the body, according to diplomats tracking the process. The U.S has no active opposition to the demand of these four countries to be included as permanent member of the UNSC, but the Trump Administration has taken a benign approach to the proposed reform. In his speech , Mr. Trump attacked the UN Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court.

"America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism , and we embrace the doctrine of patriotism, " Mr.Trump said in the speech that made sweeping accusations against multilateral institutions.


G-4 Minister noted that despite an overwhelming majority of UN member states supporting Security Council reform, the negotiations launched in 2009 have not produced substantive progress over the 10 years.
