Discussion
Consider the following statements :
1. Ezulwini consensus calls for a more democratic security council with a permanent seat to Egypt, Turkey and South Africa.
2. During the recent India - AU Summit, Uniting for Consensus grouping (UfC) strongly supported India's claim to a permanent seat in the UNSC.
Choose the correct statement(s) :
Answer: D
Neither statement is correct, so the answer is Neither 1 nor 2.
The Ezulwini Consensus of 2005 is the African Union's common position on Security Council reform. It asks for at least two permanent seats, with veto, and five non-permanent seats for Africa, to be filled by Africa itself; it does not name Egypt, Turkey and South Africa, and Turkey is not an African country at all. Statement 1 is wrong.
Statement 2 is also wrong. The Uniting for Consensus group, led by Italy and including Pakistan, opposes the creation of new permanent seats and so opposes India's claim rather than supporting it.
