Pakistan moves to stop India’s bid to UN Security Council permanent membership as G-4 fails to Agree to African nations
The G-4 (India, Brazil, Germany and Japan) failed to agree with the African nations to agree on the issue of UN Security Council expansion. In the mean time Pakistan took the advantage of spoiling the broth by introducing its own case to the UN general assembly.
According to media reports, United Nations ambassadors of India, Japan, Germany and Brazil and African Union (AU) failed to find a common position on expansion of the Security Council and decided to return the issue to their foreign ministers who had charged them with drawing up a draft resolution acceptable to both.
The failure of G-4 ambassadors'' talks with their AU counterparts came even as Pakistan and Italy-led "Uniting for Consensus" (UFC) group was preparing to move in the General Assembly its own resolution. The UFC draft calls for expansion of the 15-member Council in only the non-permanent category with addition of ten new members, to take its strength to 25.
AU ambassadors were unbable to agree on a common position with G-4, which would have led to substantive discussions, diplomats said. G-4 presented AU with their options but the latter were unable to agree on any one position though they considered several options.
