India Should Get a Prominent Place at UN Security Council: Shashi Tharoor | Raisina Dialogue 2026

At the Raisina Dialogue 2026, Shashi Tharoor, Member of the Lok Sabha, and Dhruva Jaishankar, Executive Director, Observer Research Foundation, United States of America, discuss the role and future of the United Nations. Shashi Tharoor said the two World Wars led to the creation of the UN, which, despite its limitations, helped prevent a third world war. However, conflicts have continued, especially when major powers disagree, often leaving the UN constrained by its dependence on them. He said recent years have seen open violations of the UN Charter and a shift from a rule-based order to power-based politics. Tharoor also discussed calls to reform the UN Security Council, including India’s demand for a permanent seat, while noting the rise of forums such as the G20, BRICS, SCO and the QUAD.
