DPRK Delegate on Reform of UN Security Council

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 20 (KCNA) -- The work of the UN Security Council should be fully democratized to solve the issues of international peace and security in conformity with the common interests and needs of all the member states, said a DPRK delegate addressing the plenary session of the 58th UN General Assembly when it was discussing the agenda item 56 "The issue of equal representation at the UN Security Council and the increase of its member states and issues related to it" on Oct. 14. The Security Council should be reformed in such a way as to fully ensure the representation of the developing countries, he noted, and continued:
    It is most important to solve the issue of increasing the number of the non-permanent members of the Security Council and ensure that it is fully represented by developing countries.
    It is necessary to take a more cautious approach toward the issue of increasing the number of permanent members of the Security Council as there is no agreement on such elementary problems related to the reform of the Security Council. The Security Council is required to maintain the principle of justice and impartiality based on the purpose and principle of the UN Charter in its activities.
    The Security Council should radically improve its working mode and impartially represent the will and interests of all the member states of the UN and thus restore the confidence of the international community.
