Security Council reform
The article, “UN Security Council reform is a song in a loop” (Editorial page, October 12), only highlights the lack of democracy in the Security Council. In an ever-evolving landscape of global politics and diplomacy, one institution remains static, emblematic of an era long gone by. The concept of veto power was created with good intentions, but it has often been exploited to further the strategic interests of the members that matter. This has resulted in a gridlock. A fundamental reform would be to abolish the veto system. Decisions should be made democratically.
