Doorway To A New World Order? UN Security Council Reform Could Change Global Power Structure
September 29, 2015
“The world is bigger than five,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
famously warned the UN General Assembly in his speech before the global
body in 2014.
Pressure has been building for years to change the status quo regarding the US, Britain, France, China, and Russia's ability to have veto power over UN Security Council decisions.
The Security Council is made up of 15 members, 5 of them permanent. The other 10 members are elected for two year terms, but it is the permanent members who wield all the power.
Any of the permanent members can veto a resolution, which has frustrated members of the global body for deadlocking it's ability to respond to crisis situations.
Proponents for reforming the Security Council received a boost from Germany's Angela Merkel this week after she met with leaders from Brazil, India and Japan and stated, "We need a new method of work to solve problems. That makes reform of the Security Council necessary, reform which reflects the real power in the world better than the situation today."
Brazil, India and South Africa have all indicated a desire to represent their regions on a permanent basis. Germany and Japan have also indicated their desire to sit on the council as two of the most powerful financial global powers.
Previous attempts to reform the Security have all failed including a speech last year by French President François Hollande when called on the five powers to agree on a set of scenarios in which the veto should not be used.
Some Bible prophecy experts have speculated that efforts to reform the security council may lead to a scenario in which the UN body is represented by 10 permanent members who in turn give their power to one single leader to oversee the entire global body.
"The 10 horns that you observed are 10 rulers... who are to receive power and authority for a single hour, along with the beast. These have one common policy (purpose), and they deliver their power to the beast... God has put it into their hearts to carry out His own purpose by acting in harmony in surrendering their royal power and authority to the beast until the prophetic words of God shall be fulfilled." [Revelation 17:12-13, 17]
While it is unlikely that the "Big 5" are willing to share their power and become the "Big 10" anytime soon, unforeseen world events and rising pressure from developing nations may force their hand.
