Seeking permanent seat at UN Security Council, Germany's UN envoy calls for reform

NEW YORK, USA - JUNE 16: The east wall of the UN Security Council's chamber features a huge mural showing a phoenix rising from the ashes of war and symbolizing the promise of future peace, but the structure of the council has been debated for failing to maintain its primary responsibility to resolve conflicts. In recent years, calls have grown for reform at the UN Security Council from many countries including Turkey over its failure to maintain peace and security in Syria, Myanmar and Yemen. Among the countries that insist on the betterment of the UN's most powerful body is Germany. To date, it has been elected as a non-permanent member of the council six times and was last an elected member between 2019-2020. As the second largest donor, which provides the highest amount of funds including voluntary contributions to the overall UN system after the US, Germany wants to be represented as a permanent member at the council and demands reform, given its position in the global arena. In a sit-down interview with Anadolu Agency at the Security Council chamber, Germany's outspoken Ambassador to the UN Christoph Heusgen recalled that the Security Council was established after the Second World War. "The last time it was reformed was in the 60s, and since the 60s -- basically two generations -- the composition has not changed," said Heusgen. He added that they were still working on the same proposal to move forward.(Footage by Lokman Vural Elibol/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
