The United Nations Is Long Overdue For Some Reform, So Why Won't They?
24 October marks United Nations Day, the day the UN was founded, in 1945. The UN Charter came into effect in 1945, with United Nations Day being celebrated from 1948 onwards.
And nearly 75 years since the United Nations was founded, the world body is desperately in need of some reform. The structure of the UN of 2019, still reflects the situation in the 1940s.
Clearly, it’s time for the UN Security Council to change - and add new members to its fold.
This podcast is based on an opinion piece by Shashi Tharoor and explains why the UN needs to catch up with the times, or risk becoming irrelevant.
Hosts: Vishnu Gopinath and Viraj Gaur
