Brazil's Lula calls for UNSC permanent member reform

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has called for a fundamental change in the behavior of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. Speaking at a progressive leaders' summit in Barcelona on Saturday, Lula criticized the P5 for failing to stop the ongoing war in Iran. He argued that the council's permanent members must agree to alter their conduct to effectively address global conflicts. The remarks represent a direct critique of the current international security architecture from a leading Global South leader.
