About this Quote

Anna Lindh's quote speaks with the need for reform of the United Nations Security Council. The Security Council is the primary political arena of the UN, and it should be perceived as genuinely representative of all 191 member states in order to maintain the trustworthiness and legitimacy of the UN. This indicates that the Security Council should be reformed to make sure that all member states are represented in a fair and fair manner. This might be done by increasing the number of long-term members, or by introducing a system of rotating memberships. Additionally, the Security Council must be more transparent and responsible to the member states, and need to be more open up to input from civil society. Eventually, the reform of the Security Council is essential to guarantee that the UN remains a credible and genuine international body.
