India offers to give up veto power temporarily at UNSC
India and other G4 nations have offered to forgo their veto power if granted permanent membership in a reformed Security Council. "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 to the UN Syed Akbaruddin.
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.
