passed the 2015 anniversary of the founding of the United Seventy Nations in 06/26/1945, as it signed the then 50 independent state, including Iraq and in San Francisco at the founding document of the organization. The delegation was headed by Iraq at the time of the late Dr. Fadhil Jamali who signed the document, and adopted the founding document in 10/24/1945. This international organization called the United Nations was founded, on the ruins of two world wars, to prevent a third war happening and to preserve international peace and security. Membership in the Security Council the text of the Charter of the founding of the organization, which is called the Charter of the United Nations to grant major countries (United States, Britain, Russia, and China , France) permanent seats in the most important organ of the Organization, but a UN Security Council and was later named permanent members of the Security Council countries. and ensure that the Charter of the United Nations also enjoy the benefits of these five countries, including a private right of veto or veto. The UN Security Council met for the first time in 01/17/1946 in Westminster building in London, this is derived Security Council, its importance and authority of the international organization of its decisions and recommendations which are binding on Member States in the United Nations, and the most important decisions of those issued under Chapter VII of the Charter The United Nations Security Council as a recommendation authorizing the use of force in the implementation of its decisions in the event of failure to reach political solutions. In addition to the five permanent members of the Security Council members, are elected six countries periodically to occupancy of six non-permanent seats are called with non-permanent members of the Security Council which have the right to vote and the presidency of the Council but does not have the right of veto, and alternate states in distracting these seats for two years, to become the strength of the Security Council of 11 members, five of whom are permanent and six non-permanent members. and increasing the number of Member States of the United Nations Organization has increased pressure on the Security Council to expand its membership. And already in 1965 has increased the number of seats non-permanent members from 6 to 10 to become the membership of the Security Council of 15 members. Attempts to expand the membership of the Security Council there has been little on the membership of the Security Council in numerical terms since 1965, despite a considerable increase of the countries that joined the change United Nations over the years and change the balance of power in favor of some countries politically, economically and militarily, and began to Japan and Germany, which constitute a contribution to a large part in the conduct of United Nations business, to move to get seats on the Security Council, and began to other countries such as Brazil, India and South Africa, Nigeria and Egypt are Other louder voices of political and socio-economic size and influence in the continent, which makes it imperative for OECD countries to listen to its weight to it. And actually in 1993 the United Nations established the so-called the Open-ended Working Group to discuss the restructuring and reform of the Security Council and improvement of its working methods, according to five axes membership category, regional representation and the size of the expansion of the Council, and improve the working methods of the Board, including the issue of transparency, particularly in relation to the election of the Secretary-General, and the right of veto, in addition to the Council's relationship with other United Nations General Kaljmaah. Despite the passage of 22 years to set up this working group, but that any agreement between the countries is still far away, and that the differences between them on the reform mechanisms deep did these nations agree on the main principles to be Security Council reform based on it. The proposals put forward in the negotiations that most of the proposals by States political, geographical and aggregates regional take into account the actual expansion of winning in the number of members of the organization and the injustice caused to these groups or States, The proposal submitted by Germany, India, Brazil and Japan known countries (G4) stipulates that expands the current Security Council by adding 10 new seats 6 including permanent members and four of them non-permanent members bringing the number of members of the Security Council from 15 currently to 25 in the future and sum up the proposal as follows: Part I: the five permanent members now (5) are the US, Russia, Britain, France and China, with an additional six new permanent states Membership (2) of the continent of Asia and (2) of the continent of Africa and (1) of Western Europe, and (1) of the continent of Latin America to become the number of permanent members is (11) instead of (5) as is the case now. Part II : Add (4) new non-permanent seats organic operated by states on a regular basis for two years, and an additional seat for Asia and one for Africa and one for Eastern Europe and Latin America from the last share. And therefore expansion of the Security Council to (25) state in the future according to the proposal G4 group. In fact, this proposed some concessions which offers placed under a time to use the veto, as it should not use the new states (6 permanent members of) the veto power for 15 years. These four countries have adopted the principle of balance to get permanent seats, taking into account national interests, Fmhad Asia proposed would like India and Japan to get it, and benches Africa has acquired by either South Africa or Nigeria or Egypt, while in Latin America, Brazil is her lucky , while Germany take share Europe. As explained in the proposal, there is increased four non-permanent seats organic occupied by periodically countries for two years. A set (Uniting for compatibility), consisting of 27 countries in the United Nations, most notably Switzerland, Italy, Canada, Pakistan, Mexico, South Korea and Turkey a proposal to expand the Security Council to (25) state with the survival of the five permanent members of the States themselves and all their rights and the addition of 10 new non-permanent members occupy the seat periodically for two years spread over continents depending on their size and come added seats ten from Asia (3) and Africa (3) and Latin America (2) and Western Europe (1) and Eastern Europe (1), also calls for the proposal to limit restriction in the use of the veto by the permanent members, especially in the subjects that are related to crimes against humanity that threaten the population. Iraqi and Arab position, perhaps it is appropriate that we address now to Iraq's position Arab Group on the issue of Security Council reform, Iraq has participated since 22 years in discussions lengthy reform of the Security Council through and legal experts in the State Department and joined the Arab consensus in this matter, despite the fact that the Arab Group is itself divided over the best solutions, and comes momentum and the strength of the Arab position from a number of Arab States Members of the United Nations (22) countries, which represent 12 percent of the total number of current Member States, and therefore the Arab Group claiming a permanent seat in the event of expanding the number of permanent members of the seats with the addition of another member League occupies the seat every two years, according to Continental geographical distribution and rotation among the Arab countries in Africa and Asia. The Arab Group focused on the use of the five permanent members the right of veto was arbitrary, especially with regard to the Palestinian cause and the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. And supports both France and Britain Narrow Your use of the veto in the Council. It is worth mentioning that these two countries did not use the veto power since 1989. It must be pointed out that the positions of the Arab countries are the other were not uniform, for example, about the inclusion of an Arab country a permanent seat If the expansion of the number of permanent members, the Arabs did not agree so far on the label that the Arab state. There are several countries address the forefront of the occupation of the permanent seat, such as Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq, and in the case of naming Arab countries you will be those represented full of Arab issues, without prejudice to its Arab state National? Will allow countries such as America, France and Britain to annex the Arab country has a permanent membership in the Council with all the powers, including the right of veto, taking into account the direct impact on the interests of those countries with Israel ?, inevitably going to be the answer to (both). Finally, the views of the permanent states vary Membership on expansion of the Security Council, and in the use of the veto and the development of the Council's work more transparent and to inform the Members of the United Nations inhabitants and debates countries, and there is for these countries is consistent and clear position of all Srdnah previously, and kept the five permanent members chime superficially with members of the United Nations and perhaps converge some views on the reforms in the working methods and transparency, and perhaps in the most difficult cases, agree to limit the use of the veto. In terms of expansion of the Council and the addition of permanent seats, I do not think these countries will live up to the full responsibility and take a serious decision in this regard, being very happy gains conferred upon it by the Charter of the United Nations since the founding of the UN Security Council in 1945 and is not ready to give up the right to have acquired or grant such right to other countries. And to provide the goodwill of the Member States of the United Nations, perhaps only these countries (permanent members) to agree to expand the number of members of the Council non-permanent (10) currently to (14) bringing the number of members of the Board at full suit (19) members, instead of (15) in our time current. * Permanent Representative of Iraq to the United Nations
