A legally viable "1991 precedent" provides a pathway to modernize global governance without a UN Charter amendment—positioning India for leadership and dispelling viral myths about a new UNSC veto.

CHICAGO - illiNews -- Today, Noble World Foundation launched an innovative and practical initiative to reform the long‑paralyzed United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Developed by founder Shiv R. Jhawar, the plan uses an existing precedent to make the Security Council more representative—without amending the UN Charter.

The announcement comes as viral claims falsely suggest India has secured a permanent UNSC seat. The foundation rejects these rumors. "The five permanent members will never grant India—or anyone else—equal veto power," Jhawar explains. "Instead of trying to enter an exclusive club that refuses new members, India should lead the effort to build a modern and inclusive system."

The plan is rooted in a remarkable historical precedent. In 1991, when the Soviet Union dissolved, Russia automatically inherited the USSR's permanent Security Council seat. No Charter revision occurred. No global vote was held. The Security Council simply accepted a letter from Russia's president. More than thirty years later, the UN Charter still lists "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics," yet Russia holds the seat.

"If a union of fifteen republics can disappear overnight and be replaced by a single successor state without any rule change," Jhawar notes, "then a unified regional group should also be able to inherit a permanent seat. The precedent already exists."

Noble World Foundation's proposal calls for replacing individual permanent members with regional unions—such as the European Union, the African Union, ASEAN, and other established regional blocs. These entities already function as coherent diplomatic and political actors. Their inclusion would give entire continents meaningful representation for the first time, including Africa, Latin America, and most of Asia.

This reform would also make the veto less prone to misuse. A regional union would need internal agreement before blocking collective action, encouraging negotiation rather than single‑country obstruction. For India, the foundation argues, this model provides a far more realistic and influential path. Instead of waiting indefinitely for a veto seat that is structurally unattainable, India could help lead Asia's unified voice in a reformed world order.

"From Gaza to Ukraine, the world has watched the Security Council remain immobilized while crises worsen," says Jhawar. "We can continue accepting this failure, or we can use the tools already available to rebuild the Security Council so it actually works. India should not beg for a seat—it should help design a better table where everyone has a place."

Noble World Foundation is now sharing this plan with governments, scholars, and civil‑society leaders worldwide to build international support for this achievable reform.
