Csaba Korosi, president of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly, on Tuesday called on the United Nations to evolve with the times and undertake much needed reforms of key UN bodies.
"Times are evolving and this organization must evolve with them," Korosi said. "We must reform how the General Assembly functions. The same is true for the Security Council."
While the UN Charter does not make undertaking reforms easy, the United Nations task is to apply it until it is changed, particularly in regard to its selective application on conflict management as well as genocide and other war crimes, Korosi said.
"If we do not, the Security Council will be more of a problem than a solution," Korosi added.
In late August, UN chief Antonio Guterres said that the current global structures of governments reflect "the world of yesterday."
