Indian Struggle for Permanent Seat in Security Council: Implications for the Region

Abstract

United Nations Organization (UNO) is an international organization established for peace and cooperation in the world. The Security Council is an administrative organ of UNO. Numerous members of UNO emphasize the administration of the Security Council for a slight change in structure as per timely requirements. Many proposals were presented for the magnification of the Security Council but delayed due to some reasons. The four countries claimed for the permanent seat in the Security Council such as Japan, Germany, Brazil, and India. The UNCS bound these countries that firstly they compete with the criteria of UNSC membership then they can claim for the permanent seat. India is included in these countries and struggling for the permanent seat since 1992 to date. But this membership may create problems for the regional countries of South Asian. The current paper aims to ascertain possible repercussion about Indian struggle of being permanent member in the Security Council.  India has different sort of conflict with regional countries, and it always shows hostility towards the Pakistan, China and Jammu & Kashmir. It has been argued that India has always violated the UN resolutions. Hence, it does not qualify for the enduring seat in the security council, it’s against the wellbeing and security of the whole region. The Indian attitude towards the region is not a friendly and progressive, the regional countries are against this membership. It is suggested that India should extend cordially relations with the regional countries first to remove animosity and misunderstandings.
