G4 nations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The G4 is an alliance between India, Germany, Japan and Brazil for the purpose of supporting each other’s bid for permanent seats on the United Nations Security Council. Unlike similar alliances such as the G7 or G8, where the common denominator was the economy or long term political motives, the G4's primary aim is the coveted permanent member seats on the UN Security Council. While almost all nations have agreed in principle that the UN needs a revamping which includes expansion, few countries are willing to talk about the exact time frame for such a reorganization. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/G4_nations   (305 words)

Indo-Asian News Service -> India-Diplomacy-UN -> India regrets AU's rejection of joint UN plan The G4 nations had been expected to call for a vote almost immediately after the AU summit but they would now need to take stock of the situation and decide on their future action.

The Gangs of New York - The Millennium Summit and Its Follow-Up - Global Policy Forum Following the vote, each of the G4 nations would have campaigned for one of the new seats on its own. The United Nations -- its name says it all -- is viewed as an idea and model, a world government with heart and soul, with Kofi Annan as chancellor and president and prime minister, showered with expectations and, in the end, with mockery and derision. The United Nations is really nothing but a club of 191 egoists, and it will never succeed as long as each member uses it for its own benefit and puts up barriers when others stand to benefit. www.globalpolicy.org /msummit/millenni/2005/0926gangs.htm   (3206 words)

Articles - United Nations Security Council A proposed solution is to increase the number of permanent members by five, which, in most proposals, would include Japan, Germany, India, Brazil (G4 nations), one seat from Africa (most likely between Nigeria and South Africa), and/or one seat from the Arab League. This requirement of the United Nations Charter was adopted to address a weakness of the League of Nations since that organization was often unable to respond quickly to crises. Currently the five members are the only nations permitted to possess nuclear weapons under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which lacks universal validity, as not all nuclear nations have signed the treaty. www.afinest.com /articles/UN_Security_Council   (2597 words)

Taipei Times - archives The G4 draft was endorsed by nearly 40 nations, including Britain and France, but it also needed the backing of the 53-member African Union to secure the required two-third majority in the 191-member assembly. It called for boosting council membership to 25, with six new permanent non-veto-wielding seats -- the G4 nations plus two from Africa -- and four non-permanent seats. The G4, particularly Japan and Germany, mounted an aggressive drive to woo the Africans, who were pressing to correct what they see as a historical injustice that has left them as the only continent not represented on the Security Council. www.taipeitimes.com /News/world/archives/2005/09/12/2003271360   (858 words)
