At a high-level meeting, India’s Permanent Representative P. Harish called out the UN Security Council’s failure to act on crises, calling its 80-year-old structure outdated and ineffective. What’s more, he revealed that despite supporting the broader Pact for the Future, India has serious reservations about its promises; many of which remain ‘on paper’ while conflicts rage on. The real kicker? India says global institutions must become more representative, especially for the Global South, or risk losing legitimacy entirely. This isn’t just diplomacy; it’s a wake-up call for multilateralism.
