Australia condemns 'glacial' reform to UN Security Council
Australia has warned reform of the United Nation's Security Council is moving at a “glacial pace” and change is "well overdue" to reflect the geopolitical realities of our time.
Australia’s new ambassador to the UN, Mitch Fifield told the UN General Assembly the international rules-based order upholding stability and security is under “significant strain”.
He said Asia, Africa and Latin America deserve "greater representation" on the Security Council, which must evolve to more "effectively" respond to the challenges of the 21st century.
