Tajani tells UN General Assembly the world body must regain its ability to act
Italy's foreign minister said the UN Security Council 'must not be an exclusive club' as he addressed the General Assembly.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told the UN General Assembly that the organization must regain its capacity to act effectively, according to ANSA.
In his address, Tajani said the UN Security Council "must not be an exclusive club," a remark widely understood to reflect concerns about the body's representativeness and its ability to respond to global crises.
The comments come amid a broader debate at the United Nations over reforming its structures, including long-standing calls to expand Security Council membership to better reflect current geopolitical realities.
Tajani's remarks were delivered as part of Italy's participation in the General Assembly's high-level session, though the report does not specify further detail on any concrete reform proposals he put forward.
The Security Council currently includes five permanent members with veto power, a structure that has faced repeated criticism from member states seeking a greater voice in matters of international peace and security.
