President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan reiterated his call for a reform of the U.N. Security Council, which he said falls short of fulfilling its duty to ensure global peace and security, supporting a similar call by U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Paralel.Az reports quoting Daily Sabah.

In a message posted on X on Monday, Guterres said the top global body was designed by the victors of World War II.

"The world has changed but the composition of the Council has not kept pace," Guterres said, adding that it is unacceptable that Africa – with over a billion people – does not have a permanent member.

"African voices, insights & participation must be brought to bear across the Council’s deliberations & actions," Guterres said.
