| the circumstances of this day are not the same as those prevailing during the formation of the UN. What is not agreed upon is whether this changed circumstances sufficiently necessitates altering the decision-making process of the Security Council. Naturally, leading the pack of the proponents of maintaining the status quo are the current permanent members of the Council. Whatever position may be found agreeable to individual or group intellectual or political leanings, a factor that cannot be disregarded is that the current procedure and process of arriving at decisions in the Council cannot continue. The reason for this is the gross misplacement of priority in Council deliberations by its members. The system must be reformed so as to be transparent. The UN was not founded, ex facie, to protect the “national interests” of certain nations merely, but for the peace and security of every nation of the world. The overly politicization of the decision-making apparatus of the Security Council is unacceptable. It must be open, transparent and made accountable.
