Ezulwini Consensus

This is a movement that's been going on for the better part of the century.

I, I mean, I could trace it down to the 2005 Ezulwini Consensus where the Africa U- Union demanded no fewer than two permanent seats, you know, and then five non-permanent ones.

Every country who has agitated for a veto power in the Security Council have, uh, you know, they, they've just basically made the argument based on the strength of their population, the strength of their economy, as well as possible rivalry with the neighbor.

So for instance, the people in Asia believe that if China is supposed to have a veto power, being a permanent member by basis of their, the size of their economy or, sorry, sorry, the size of their population as of 1945 when the UN was created, why not India? India is bigger than China in terms of population at the moment.
