RESOLUTION SOLUTIONS FOR THE UNSC BY JOVD, NETHERLANDS LYMEC, gathered in Rotterdam on the 3rd of May 2015. Noting that: The current UNSC is a representation of the post-war situation, The five permanent members of the UNSC have a veto, The ten temporary members of the UNSC are elected by the General Assembly of the UN, There is an intense lobby for the temporary seats in the UNSC. Considering that: The UNSC, because of its huge importance, deserves practical solutions, The composition of the UNSC is an insufficient representation of the current political and economic situation, The third and fourth largest economy, Japan and Germany, are not permanent members of the UNSC, Germany now plays a dominant role in the European Union and with that in global politics, The Indian Ocean, according to Robert D. Kaplan, is going to be crucial for the world economy in the 21th century, India, because of its geographic situation, is very committed to the Indian Ocean, None of the current permanent members of the UNSC border the Indian Ocean, India and Japan could together form a democratic counterweight in Asia to the dictatorships in China and Russia, There is no South-American permanent member of the UNSC, Brazil its role in international politics is of increasing importance, An UNSC consisted of the current five permanent members and Brazil, India, Japan and Germany would be a SC committed to the whole world, The veto of the permanent members blocks progress in international politics, Some of the current members of the UNSC use the veto mostly to protect their own interests, not to solve international problems; The lobby for the temporary seats in the UNSC consists of giving presents and visiting countries, This is an undesirable but inevitable way of lobbying, The refusal of Saudi-Arabia to take place as a temporary member of the UNSC illustrates that the temporary members don't have any actual influence in the UNSC, LYMEC calls for: Permanent membership of India, Brazil, Japan and Germany of the UNSC, Substitution of the veto-system for a system where the UNSC adopts resolutions with at least a majority of two-third, Hereby ending the possibility of temporary membership of the UNSC.
