EN
The reform of the United Nations Security Council is the core of the overall UN reform because of the Council s main responsibility for maintaining international peace and security that is the major goal of the UN activity. Countries shall especially focus on strengthening the Council s status, authority and enhancing its capacity towards new threats and challenges that increased in international relations (mainly counter-terrorism, non-proliferation of the weapons of mass destruction, combating transnational crimes and human rights violations and mitigating local conflicts). So far, almost all of the recommendations of the Security Council s reform have been focused on one problem - the enlargement of this UN body. The only proposal concerning the working and voting manner, is project presented by the S-5 Group, which shows, that the priorities of the reform presented by countries aren’t in accordance with the High-level Panel and Koffi Annan’s suggestions. According to the opinion of China, first of all, the reform has to be multidimensional and covering not only Security Council s enlargement by new countries, but also shall base on improvement of its working methods and transparency. Secondly, the Security Council enlargement should assure the representation of developing countries (especially African countries) which constitute over 2/3 of the overall number of members of the UN. Thirdly, the enlargement must be connected with ensuring small and medium-sized countries possibilities to participate in process of decision-making in Security Council. Moreover, the membership enlargement should be negotiated within regional groups, then discussed on the United Nations forum. Furthermore, the new composition must reflect fair representation of different cultures and regions and uphold geographical balance. The reform should be carried out in a democratic way and be based on mutual consultations in order to achieve consensus and have gradual character. The People s Republic of China rejects time- frame to make common decisions, because the member states of the UN may not reach common agreement and they would be enforced to take decisions, which have not been discussed yet. So far, neither did China present its own draft of the UN Security Council membership enlargement and voting manner after the reform, nor join the proposals of the above groups of countries. They only prepared a general plan of the reform.
