Chumakov also pointed out the imbalance in representation, noting that Western states, which follow a strict bloc-based approach, are significantly overrepresented in the council. Earlier in the day, the Security Council held an open debate on strengthening the role of African states in addressing global security and development challenges.

Representatives of member countries take vote during the Security Council meeting at United Nations headquarters, Friday, Dec. 22, 2023. - Sputnik Africa, 1920, 24.05.2024

UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - The international community needs to correct the historical injustice related to Africa's underrepresentation in the UN Security Council, Russian Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Dmitry Chumakov said on Thursday.

"There is a need, most notably, to redress the historical injustice regarding Africa, whose representation in the Security Council today is not in line with either the total number of states on the continent or their current role in international affairs," Chumakov said during a UNSC meeting.

Chumakov also pointed out the imbalance in representation, noting that Western states, which follow a strict bloc-based approach, are significantly overrepresented in the council.

Earlier in the day, the Security Council held an open debate on strengthening the role of African states in addressing global security and development challenges.
