Question

Critically evaluate the difficulties involved in implementing the suggested reforms to reconstruct the UN.

Solution

The difficulties involved in implementing the suggested reforms to reconstruct the UN are as explained below:

1. Various criteria have been suggested for a new member of the Security Council, such as a major economic power, a major military power, contributor to UN budget. Each of these criteria has some advantages. The difficulty is that there is no agreement about how great economic or military power should be. A fixed criteria cannot judge the capability of a country to be a permanent member of the Security Council because each country has its own interests.

2. Similarly as the UN is a world body, question arises how representation should be given to Asia, Africa, Latin., America and Caribbean. Most of the developing countries that have joined the UN after the Second World War belong to these continents. These countries constitute majority in the UN members. Selection of the basis of representation i.e., geography, economic development, culture or civilisation etc. creates a problem.

3. Similar differences exist about the veto power in the Security Council. Without Veto Power, the great powers would lose interest in the UN.
