	INDOlink - Editorial Analysis - India´s Bid for a Permanent Seat on the UN Security Council
		There are compelling reasons to consider India’s appointment as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council (the “Council.”) At the present time, the Council does not fully represent the world population, such as developing countries, and anachronistic in character.
		The present composition of the Council, particularly the permanent members´ category, is weighted heavily in favor of industrialized countries.
		India can help the UN to work towards the problems of poverty, illiteracy, urban sprawl, natural calamities etc. India being the sufferers of these evils can contribute a great towards formulating a workable approach at the UN on these issues.

	Iraq - Global Policy Forum
		On May 22, 2003, the Security Council ended economic sanctions against Iraq with Resolution 1483, calling for the creation of a “Development Fund for Iraq,”(DFI) to administer proceeds from the export sales of Iraq’s oil, as well as funds remaining from the UN Oil-for-Food Programme and other assets seized from the defunct regime.
		Critics have charged that billions have disappeared from this fund and governments have called it a “fl hole.” Though the UN Security Council mandated an International Advisory Monitoring Board to oversee these funds, transparency was limited, while corruption was apparently widespread.
		Shortly before the outbreak of hostilities, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan stated that use of force without Security Council endorsement would "not be in conformity with the Charter" and many legal experts describe the US-UK attack as an act of aggression.
