Consider the following statements regarding UN reforms: I. India demands an expanded Security Council. II. India does not support an increase in non-permanent members. III. The majority of the UN General Assembly members are from developing countries. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
I and III
India has consistently demanded comprehensive reform and expansion of the UN Security Council, seeking permanent membership for itself, so Statement I is correct. India, as part of groupings such as the G4, actually supports an increase in both permanent and non-permanent members of the Security Council, so Statement II is incorrect. Of the 193 UN member states, the majority belong to developing countries of the Global South (reflected in groupings like the G77), making Statement III correct. Hence the correct answer is I and III.
