Finland's President Alexander Stubb has proposed significant reforms to the U.N. Security Council, including its expansion and the abolition of the single state veto power. In an interview, he stated that the number of permanent members should increase from five to ten, incorporating representatives from Latin America, Africa, and Asia. Stubb also called for the suspension of any member state involved in an 'illegal war', specifically citing Russia's invasion of Ukraine as a prime example. He emphasized that without greater representation from the global South, countries may lose faith in the U.N. Stubb plans to present these proposals at the upcoming U.N. General Assembly, hoping for support by the U.N.'s 80th anniversary. The U.S. has also expressed support for additional permanent seats for Africa, aligning with some of Stubb's suggestions.
