BRICS to Leave UN: What Next?

Fastepo:  6-27-2024

BRICS countries, along with other Global South nations, have voiced their discontent with the United Nations for several reasons. Chief among their concerns is the significant influence Western nations wield in key international organizations and decision-making processes.

 These countries believe that the current UN framework does not adequately represent their interests and viewpoints. Consequently, the BRICS nations are pushing for a more democratic and inclusive structure within the UN.

For instance, during the recent BRICS summit, there were calls for comprehensive reform of the UN to ensure greater involvement of emerging nations, including a re-evaluation of the Security Council’s composition and the veto power held by the permanent members. Consequently, there have been numerous calls for significant reforms or even a total overhaul of the UN, with the goal of establishing a more equitable and representative system of global governance.

This video will delve into these proposed changes and the motivations driving them.
