flag Leaders demand UN reform to fix outdated Security Council structure and boost global representation.

flag At the 13th Global Baku Forum, former UN General Assembly President Miroslav Lajčák, Turkish statesman Binali Yildirim, and former Norwegian PM Kjell Magne Bondevik all called for urgent UN reform, citing the Security Council’s outdated structure and veto power as major obstacles. flag They stressed that the UN’s effectiveness depends on member states’ political will and that current power imbalances—especially the lack of representation from Africa, the Muslim world, and Latin America—undermine its legitimacy. flag While acknowledging past achievements, they warned the UN risks irrelevance without modernization, urging inclusive discussions and structural changes to reflect today’s global realities.
