India: UNSC undermining Gen Assembly

United Nations, March 20

India has criticised the UN Security Council for undermining the authority of the General Assembly, saying the body should “stop its frequent attempts” to redefine its competence through interpretations of threats to international peace and security.

“Over the years, it has been amply demonstrated that the prerogatives of the General Assembly have been undermined by the Security Council,” said Devesh Uttam, First Secretary at the Indian Mission to the UN. — PTI
