flag G4 nations demand UN Security Council reform to add six new permanent seats, citing global equity and urgency.

flag The G4 nations—India, Brazil, Germany, and Japan—urged urgent UN Security Council reform, warning delays could worsen global conflicts and undermine the UN’s credibility. flag At the Inter-Governmental Negotiations, they presented a model expanding the Council to 25 or 26 members with six new permanent seats—two for Africa, two for Asia-Pacific, one for Latin America, and one for Western Europe—aimed at reflecting current geopolitical realities and correcting historical inequities. flag They rejected proposals to allocate seats by religion, criticized obstruction by the Uniting for Consensus bloc, and called for a text-based negotiation process with clear milestones to advance reform.
