Finnish President Alexander Stubb is advocating for significant reforms to the UN Security Council, proposing an expansion of permanent membership from five to ten and the abolition of veto power held by any single state. He suggests adding representatives from Latin America, Africa, and Asia to ensure greater representation from the global South. Stubb has called for the suspension of any member state involved in illegal wars, specifically citing Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and emphasized the need for global support for Ukraine's military efforts. These proposals will be presented at the upcoming UN General Assembly in New York, where the composition of the Security Council will be debated. Stubb acknowledged that while his suggestions are ambitious, they are necessary for the effectiveness of the UN, especially as it approaches its 80th anniversary. He also highlighted the need for Western nations to lift restrictions on military support to Ukraine.
