Since it was created in 1945 after WWII, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) made little change to its composition. With five permanent veto members, the P5, and ten rotating members, the UNSC seems unwilling to reform. Meanwhile, the world has changed tremendously, experiencing explosive demographic growth and great technological changes. In this new world, cooperation and involvement of all states and nations is more than ever needed to face this century's great challenges.

Chapter 6 of the UN Charter stipulates, the UNSC must discuss ways to reach "pacific settlements of disputes" between member states. Unfortunately, there's a strong sense that the UNSC defends individual permanent members interests before world peace. Particularly unfair is the composition of the UNSC, which shows that a mere 1,8 billion people, as represented by P5, decide on the fate of seven billion people in the world. 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". Unfortunately, the past seems to repeat. The lack of cooperation between P5 members, each sticking to its individual interests, results into endemic inaction. More distant than ever before is the vision of a peaceful world.

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.
