By videoconference
Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU)
On 20 January 2021, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) organized a webinar entitled, “Reforming the Security Council: When?”, the third in a series of briefings for parliamentarians on United Nations processes. The event brought together approximately 120 participants from over 40 countries, including eight members of the Canadian Group of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (UIPU) : Senator Rob Black, Senator Patti LaBoucane-Benson, Senator Marilou McPhedran, Senator Kate Pate, Senator Mohamed-Iqbal Ravalia, Senator Raymonde Saint-Germain, Ms. Iqra Khalid, MP, and Mr. Sameer Zuberi, MP. The briefing began with summaries of three proposals for UN Security Council reform as presented by a representative of each proposing group: Italy on behalf of the Uniting for Consensus group (to which Canada belongs); India of the G4 group comprising as well Brazil, Japan and Germany; and the Ezulwini Consensus on behalf of the African group. The session highlighted points of convergence, such as general agreement that the membership of the Security Council should be increased in order to improve representation of underrepresented regions. Participants also heard diverging views about expanding the categories of membership (e.g., longer-term seats), increasing the number of permanent members, as well as extending veto authority and limiting its application.
