JAKARTA - President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated his call for UN Security Council reforms, which he said did not fulfill his duties to ensure global peace and security, supporting similar calls by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

In a statement, President Erdogan praised the UN Secretary-General's statement, saying the African continent and the African people should be given the opportunity to contribute to a just global system.

President Erdogan noted that the UN DK reform was very important before more war broke out in the region and more blood was shed, because according to him humans expected this.

He continued, saying Turkey would continue to promote the idea that "The World is Bigger Than Five" and that "A More Just World is Possible."

"As Turkey, we will continue to support all of our friends who sincerely fight towards the formation of the UN Security Council which is in line with the fair international system and the current conditions," President Erdogan said, quoted by the Daily Sabah on August 15.

Earlier, in a post on X on Monday, Secretary General Guterres said the top global body was designed by World War II winners.

"The world has changed but the composition of the Council is not following developments," Guterres said, adding that it is unacceptable that Africa with more than one billion residents has no permanent members.

"Vocations, insights, and African participation must be voiced in the considerations and actions of the Council," said Secretary General Guterres.

The Security Council is the United Nations' most important body and is responsible for resolving conflicts and maintaining peace.

This council consists of 15 of the 193 UN member states. Five of them are permanent members and have veto rights, namely the United States, China, Russia, Britain and France. Meanwhile, the other 10 members are non-permanent members, alternate among other UN members every two years.

Over the years, the agency was deemed incapable of acting due to a joint blockade by the US, China, and Russia on key issues. The fundamental reforms of the Security Council have been discussed for decades without any progress.
