US Proposes to Add Six Permanent Members to UN Security Council

The US administration is proposing to include an additional six permanent members in the United Nations Security Council, who would not have veto rights, according to The Washington Post, citing its sources.

According to those sources, President Joe Biden aims to enhance the influence of developing countries within the global organization through this restructuring. The publication clarifies that Washington seeks to 'restore confidence' in the UN Security Council amid the backdrop of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine.

Biden is reportedly pursuing reforms as the United States faces 'major challenges' in achieving consensus in an increasingly divided world.
