印度提出暂时放弃否决权换“入常”
UNITED NATIONS: India and other members of the G4+ have offered to initially forgo veto powers as permanent members in a reformed Security Council+ as a bargaining chip to get the reform process moving.
"The issue of veto is important, but we should not allow it to have a veto over the process of Council reform itself," said India's Permanent Representative Syed Akbaruddin, who was speaking on Tuesday on behalf of the G4 at the Inter-Governmental Negotiations (IGN) on Council reforms.
While the new permanent members would in principle have veto powers that the current five have, Akbaruddin said, "they shall not exercise the veto until a decision on the matter has been taken during a review".
India, Brazil, Germany and Japan constitute the G4, which lobbies for Council reforms and they mutually support each other's candidatures for permanent seats+ on an expanded body.
"While we are aware of no other way to proceed but this, we are open to innovative ideas to rework the UN system," a G4 statement said.
The group rejected suggestions to create a category of longer-term elected members of the Council as a ploy to block adding new permanent members. Expanding only the non-permanent categories would only worsen "the imbalance of influence" in the Council and "tilt the scales" in favour of an outdated set-up, he said.
However, Uniting for Consensus (UfC), a 13-member group that includes Pakistan, opposed expanding permanent membership and suggested instead the creation of a new category of elected membership with longer terms than the current two years.
The group has been waging a decades-long battle against expanding permanent membership and blocking the reform process.
Approaching reforms from a narrow national perspective of ensuring that certain countries do not get permanent membership - for example, Pakistan's opposition to India - through the reform process, the UfC suggested adding 11 seats to the Council, with nine of them having longer terms.
Deriding the UfC proposal as "old hat", Akbaruddin said that the 1944 Dumbarton Oaks conference held in Washington to negotiate the shape of the UN had rejected suggestions for the longer-term Council membership.
Any proposal for Council reforms without an expansion of the number of the permanent seats does "grave injustice to Africa's aspirations for equality", he said.
The G4 also pointed out that the number and allocation of non-permanent seats have outlived their relevance since the UN was formed and the reform in 1965 when the number of non-permanent members was increased from six to 10.
Akbaruddin said that 53 members of the Asia-Pacific group of nations have only two elected seats on the council, while the 26-member Western Europe group also get two.
印媒称，印度和四国集团的其他成员提议在改革后的安理会中作为常任理事国最初可以放弃否决权，以此作为一个推进改革进程的谈判筹码。
在7日有关安理会改革的政府间谈判上，代表四国集团发言的印度常驻联合国代表赛义德·阿克巴尔丁说：“否决权问题至关重要，但是我们不应当让它否决安理会自身的改革进程。”
阿克巴尔丁说，尽管新的常任理事国原则上应当拥有目前的五个常任理事国拥有的否决权，但是“在审议中就有关问题作出决定前，他们不会行使否决权”。
印度、巴西、德国和日本构成的四国集团主张对安理会进行改革，而且它们互相支持彼此在扩大的安理会中的常任理事国席位。
四国集团称创建一个更长任期的安理会选举成员国类别的提议是阻止增加新的常任理事国的阴谋。
他说，仅扩大非常任理事国席位只会加剧安理会中的“影响力失衡”，而且让天平朝着有利于过时的旧安排倾斜。
阿克巴尔丁的讲话针对的是意大利常驻联合国代表塞巴斯蒂亚诺·卡尔迪的提议，卡尔迪反对扩大常任理事国席位，而是建议增设一个新的任期超过两年的选举成员国类别。
卡尔迪是代表包括巴基斯坦在内的13个成员组成的“团结协商”组织提出这一建议的。该组织进行了几十年的斗争反对扩大常任理事国席位，并阻止改革进程。
“团结协商”组织仅从狭隘的本国角度出发对待改革，以确保某些国家无法在改革过程中获得常任理事国地位，例如巴基斯坦反对印度。该组织建议为安理会增加11个席位，其中9个的任期更长。
阿克巴尔丁说，任何不扩大常任理事国席位的安理会改革提议都是“对非洲要求平等的愿望的严重不公平”。
四国集团还指出，自联合国成立和1965年进行改革将非常任理事国的数量从6个增加到10个以来，非常任理事国的数量和分配已经不再合适。
阿克巴尔丁说，53个亚太地区国家在安理会中只有两个席位，而有26个国家的西欧地区也有两个席位。（编译/刘晓燕）

另一个例子是，把克什米尔问题提交到联合国

lol... If not for Nehru, we would have been like afganistan right now... not even pakistan.
哈哈，要不是尼赫鲁，我们现在说不定跟阿富汗一样，更不用说和巴基斯坦比了
Sunil Kokrady
Afghanistan have better roads than India. Its corruption rank is much lower than India. What has he achieved?
阿富汗修的公路比印度公路好
阿富汗的腐败排名比印度低多了
他（尼赫鲁）取得了什么成就？

尼赫鲁是1964年5月去世的
而是1971年当上安理会常任理事国的，之前是没有否决权的台湾
取而代之后有了否决权。

Nonsense. The five permanent members of the UN Security Council are nations that were the victors in WW 2. This is how it was formed.胡说八道。
安理会五常都是二战的胜利国
ragavender
What did in WW2 & Where it got victory. It was given because it was in the side of US earlier. No WW2 contribution of . You are a making something like a hero of WW2, but it is zero.
In current world scenarios, France, UK, Germany are no longer superpower in any category either number of people or number of army or anything. So, we can eliminate them and add populous countries and so, more powers for people's organization UN by inclusion of Second Largest populated country India.在二战有什么贡献，哪里打胜了
只不过是站在美国一边而碰巧成为战胜国的
对二战没有贡献
你是吧，说得好像是二战英雄一样，其实什么都不是
在当今世界，法国、英国和德国等国家，不管是从人口来看，还是从军队规模来看，这些国家都不再是超级大国
他们可以退出，让人口多的国家进去
让世界第二人口大国进去
