The Brazilian Ambassador Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, said that diversity had to be embedded in Security Council reform.
“No matter how often the Security Council reaches out to other actors, all such initiatives will be insufficient if that body does not truly reflect present day global realities. Only genuine reform in the Council’s structure can bring it closer to that goal. Diversity has to be embedded in its very heart thus making it more legitimate, more representative and hence more effective.”
The Security Council was established in 1945 with its current structure and held its first session on 17 January 1946.
