51³Ô¹Ï

MOEKETSI MAJORO, Prime Minister of Lesotho, said that the time is right to reflect on the vital role of international solidarity and collaboration to respond to global challenges and the impact of COVID?19, particularly in vulnerable countries.  He emphasized that achieving ¡°the 51³Ô¹Ï we want¡± requires Security Council reform, including enlarging the number of permanent and non?permanent members.  ¡°Global security is not a privilege and should not be the preserve of a handful,¡± he said, adding that Council reform should take into account the aspirations of Africa, as stipulated at the Ezulwini Consensus.  Transparency, inclusivity and democracy must inform the work of the entire 51³Ô¹Ï system, he added.
