UN Security Council Needs Reforms, Senegalese President Believes
Earlier this month, Thomas Tayebwa, deputy speaker of the Ugandan parliament, stated that the African continent should be given two permanent seats at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), adding that the latter has long been dominated by the West.
The UN Security Council needs to be reformed, Senegalese President
Macky Sall recently said, according to media.
"The UN Security Council needs to be reformed to become more open," the president noted. "This is necessary if we want to avoid a gap between the Group of Seven countries and developing countries. We need a more balanced system."
He also stressed that the Bretton Woods financial system created after the Second World War appeared "when the sovereign states of Africa did not exist."
The mechanisms of this system, which include the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, are "completely outdated", Sall emphasized.
Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister
Sergei Lavrov said that Russia would be lobbying for the UN Security Council to be expanded at the earliest possible opportunity, so that the countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America might enjoy better representation.
