The first world war started in the year 1914. It ended in the year 1918. The world saw a lot of destruction in the war, so to prevent further wars, an organization called the League of Nations was formed in the year 1929.
But this organization was of no use and the second world war started in 1939. Which lasted till 1945. After this, the United Nations was formed.
This organization was formed for peace, economic development, human rights and social progress at the international level. There are 193 countries in the United Nations. At the same time, there are five permanent members in the United Nations Security Council. India has been trying to become a permanent member of the Security Council for a long time. But success is not being achieved. Let’s know what is the reason behind this.
What is the UN Security Council?
The United Nations Security Council is said to be the most important part of the United Nations. It has the responsibility of maintaining peace and security at the international level. The United Nations Security Council can impose international sanctions on a country. It can take military action against a country. If the UN Security Council issues a proposal, then it has to convince the rest of the countries of the United Nations. The United Nations Security Council i.e. UNSC has a total of 15 member countries. Out of which 5 are permanent countries. While 10 keep joining temporarily.
Permanent members of the UN Security Council
When the United Nations was formed, five permanent members were made in its Security Council. Which includes Russia, the United States, France, the United Kingdom and China. These five countries are the countries that fought together and won the Second World War. All these countries have veto power. Under which they can stop any decision of the United Nations.
Why is India not getting a place?
Actually, the demand to make India a permanent member of the UN Security Council has been going on for a long time. On many occasions, other countries have also supported this. But China, a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, is becoming an obstacle in India’s path. China has veto power. Whenever the demand to make India a permanent member arises, China stops that demand.
Many people have other arguments regarding this. They say that India has still not signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty i.e. Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and has also refused to sign the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty i.e. CTBT. This is also a reason.
At the same time, some people believe that not only India but many other countries are also in line to get a permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council. These include Brazil, Japan and Germany. Therefore, it has not been decided yet whether to give a place to India or not.
