Noble World Foundation Proposes UN Security Council Reform to Foster Global Peace
Noble World Foundation proposes a more democratic UN Security Council for global peace. Learn about their reform initiative at nobleworld.org
Chicago, IL, December 04, 2023 --(PR.com)-- The Noble World Foundation (NWF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to global peace and justice, announced today an initiative to reform the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). NWF proposes reforming the UNSC by granting membership and veto power to regional unions instead of individual states. This reform aims to create a more democratic and effective UNSC that better represents the world.
The NWF's proposal is detailed in the article "The Urgent Need for UNSC Reform: A Path to Global Peace," which is posted on nobleworld.org, the NWF's official website.
The urgency for such reform is underscored by Russia’s exercise of its veto power on February 25, 2022, blocking a UNSC resolution aimed at halting its actions in Ukraine. This example highlights the limitations of the UNSC in the face of conflicting national interests. In striking contrast, the European Union (EU) has demonstrated a remarkable track record in conflict prevention.
If a regional union like the EU existed in Eastern Europe before the Russia-Ukraine crisis, it could have potentially prevented the conflict by using regional consensus instead of single-nation veto. To improve the UNSC's ability to prevent future wars, decision-making authority should be given to a regional union modeled after the EU, rather than allowing one nation to have veto power.
In fact, the UNSC has adopted a regional representation policy in selecting non-permanent members, dividing the world into five distinct regions: the African Group, Asia and the Pacific Group, Eastern European Group, Latin American and Caribbean Group, and Western European and Others Group. It is only logical that this regional representation policy extends to the selection of permanent members as well. After all, the responsibility of upholding international peace and security is a shared endeavor encompassing both permanent and non-permanent UNSC members.
Shiv R. Jhawar, the founder of NWF, notes, “The news media can be a powerful ally in the structural reform of the UNSC, providing valuable media coverage about its importance and benefits."
NWF urges political leaders to recognize the potential of regional unions in conflict prevention and support their UNSC membership, as unified regions and a unified world can ultimately end wars.
