Since it was created in 1945, the Security Council (UNSC) made little change to its composition. With five permanent veto-power members, four of which emerged from World War II, and ten elected members, the UNSC seems unwlling to reform. Meanwhile, the world has changed tremendously, experiencing an explosive population growth and great technological changes. In this new world, cooperation and involvement of all nations is more than ever needed to face this century's great challenges.

As mentioned in Chapter 6 of the UN Charter, the UNSC is meant to discuss ways to reach 'pacific settlements of disputes' between member states. However, there's a sense that the UNSC defends national interests before world peace. This overall impression of inefficiency is emphasised by the composition of the UNSC, which shows that a mere 1,8 billion people, as represented by the five permanent members, decide on the fate of a soon-to-hit 7 Billion world population. Furthermore, the UNSC holds 10 elected members without veto right, which basically means they have no power. As opposed to the Ligue of Nations, predecessor of the UN, the UNSC was set up to respond rapidly in situations of crisis, to make 'wars impossible'. However, the past seems to repeat itself: lack of cooperation, inaction and individual interests, break into peaces the great ideals of our grand fathers, the UNSC founders.

Jerry Lee believes that political inaction, exacerbated by veto rights, is no longer an acceptable option. The world needs a broader involvement of nations into international affairs, changes in international policies and, above all, action to resolve ongoing crisis. Therefore, Jerry Lee requests permanent members of the UNSC to open up to former UN secretary general Koffi Annan's recommendations on reforms of the body, or follow Jerry Lee's suggestions to abandon the veto right and democratize the UNSC for the sake of peace and security; because there cannot be any without the involvement and commitment of each one of us.
