Speaking at the G20 Foreign Ministers’ meeting in New York, EAM S Jaishankar on Wednesday stressed the need for reform in the UN, saying the UN remains a “prisoner of the past”.

He said the world had evolved into a smart, interconnected and multi-polar arena and UN members had increased four-fold since its inception. “Yet, it remains a prisoner of the past,” Jaishankar added. The minister said as a result, the UN Security Council (UNSC) was struggling to fulfil its mandate of maintaining international peace and security, undermining its effectiveness.
