Reforming the UN Security Council is the most important ideas for changing the existing global order (social networking sites)

Russian writer Veniamin Popov says, in a report published by the newspaper "Nezavisimaya", that the wars in Ukraine and Gaza put an end to the unipolar world after many people were convinced of the decline of American influence and this was recognized by Washington itself.

He explained that the countries of the Global South are increasingly talking about the loss of confidence in America, and it is time to draw at least the approximate lines of a new world order.

According to Popov, the following ideas are worth discussing to bring about changes in the currently existing system of international relations:

  • Reforming the United Nations Security Council, so that the BRICS group could propose including India as a global superpower, a permanent member with veto power, and adding Iran, Brazil, and South Africa as non-permanent members, representing Asia, Africa, and Latin America

    .

Depriving Britain of permanent membership

  • Depriving Britain of its status as a permanent member of the Security Council, especially since many former colonies are seriously demanding compensation for the exploitation and plunder of these countries. As a compromise, Britain could retain a seat on the Security Council, but without veto power. While France can represent the entire European Union. The writer justified his idea that Europe is overrepresented in the UN Security Council, especially since the size of its economy in 2022 reached only 19.8 trillion, and the size of the American economy reached 25 trillion.

  • Moving the United Nations headquarters from New York to an Asian city such as Istanbul or Kuala Lumpur, or an African city such as Cairo or Nairobi.

  • Changing the composition of the most important international economic organizations, most notably the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, as well as other global federations for the benefit of the countries of the Global South.

Cancel debts for the 25 poorest countries in the world

  • Given the debt slavery that the West imposes on the poorest countries of the Global South, decisions should begin to be made to cancel the debts of the 25 least developed countries. Moreover, BRICS members could come up with an initiative to significantly reduce the debt burden of the most vulnerable developing countries and begin work on forming a new payment system without delay.

  • Adopting a main slogan to work to reduce the gap between the poor and the rich. Ideas could be considered about imposing an additional tax on wealth above a certain amount. He rejected attempts by Western powers to shift the burden of combating pollution and carbon dioxide emissions to producers, most of whom are located in the Global South.

A clear plan to create a Palestinian state

  • Develop a clear plan to implement the United Nations decisions regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state. It is important to focus in particular on the time frame for the implementation of this project and the corresponding international guarantees. BRICS members, especially Near and Middle Eastern countries, should also be the main actors.

  • Establishment of a new body under the UN Security Council whose mission is to develop long-term plans for broad global cooperation, primarily in the field of culture and human relations, to find solutions to global problems such as tackling artificial intelligence, environmental pollution, climate change, reducing fresh water reserves as well as land suitable for agriculture, and many more. Of other natural resources.

  • Forming a Council of Civilizations in which 3 countries represent the currently existing civilizations; Slavic, Western, Indian, Chinese, Islamic, African and Latin American Orthodox. This new council could include representatives of major countries that do not fit within the framework of these seven cultures, such as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and others.
