President Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali used Guyana’s address to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) to push for a Security Council that gives Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean permanent representation.
He argued that a body designed at the end of the Second World War can no longer claim to speak for the world as it is presently.
