BRICS To Leave UN: What’s going on?

Countries within the BRICS group and other Global South nations have voiced growing dissatisfaction with the United Nations, citing several key issues. Chief among these is the undue influence that Western nations wield in major international organizations and decision-making bodies. These nations contend that the current UN structure does not adequately reflect their interests or perspectives, leading to calls for a more democratic and inclusive approach. During a recent BRICS summit, leaders highlighted the need for comprehensive reforms within the UN, emphasizing the importance of enhancing the participation of emerging nations. Central to their demands is a reevaluation of the Security Council’s composition and the reconsideration of the veto power held by its permanent members. This dissatisfaction has sparked numerous calls for significant reforms, or even a complete overhaul of the UN, with the goal of establishing a more equitable and representative system of global governance. In this video, we will explore these proposed changes and the motivations behind them.
