New Delhi: President Pranab Mukherjee Thursday said that India was "eminently suited"
for permanent membership of the UN security council, having the
capacity to shoulder the responsibilities of the post.
"India is eminently suited for permanent membership of the UN
Security Council," said Mukherjee while addressing the 13th
International Conference of Chief Justices from around the world
at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
"India has affirmed its willingness and capacity to shoulder the
responsibilities of permanent membership of the UN Security
Council," he added.
Mukherjee said India fulfilled all the criteria such as
population, territorial size, gross domestic product, economic
potential, civilizational legacy, cultural diversity, political
system and past and ongoing contributions to the activities of the
UN - especially to UN peacekeeping operations.
"It is essential that the Security Council is expanded in both the
permanent and non-permanent categories," he said.
"The inclusion of developing countries from Asia, Africa and Latin
America, who are capable of global responsibility, will contribute
to optimal decision making necessary to address the insecurity of
developing countries," Mukherjee added.
Addressing the chief justices, the president said that it was
important that states reaffirmed their adherence to the rule of
law, with a commitment to abide in good faith to an international
order based on respect for international law.
"Jurists have an important role to play in persuading states to
abide by the rule of law and building support amongst the public
for the same," he said.
