Qatar hosts meeting on UNSC reforms

Foreign Minister Shaikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman AlThani stressed that the most important challenges to the world order are the stability of international community and safety of its peoples.
The minister pointed that the UNSC failure in carrying out its responsibilities underscores the importance of fast reform of the Council which was formed before decades under different international circumstances, according to Qatar News Agency (QNA).

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) is now unable to keep up with the developments that have occurred in the structure and interactions of the international system over the past decades, he said as he addressed a two-day meeting on United Nations Security Council (UNSC) reforms.

The minister pointed that the UNSC reform can only be realized by bringing greater transparency to the work of the Council and increasing its members according to standards and regulations which would create a fair balance in representation and efficiency in performance.

He stressed that Qatar sees peace more comprehensively than just the absence of violence, adding that peace is to address all aspects of development, strengthening institutions, education and opening opportunities for economic recovery and political and economic integration of young people, and addressing issues of inequality, human rights violations, injustice and exclusion
