India Oct 24, 2025

Marking the UN's 80th anniversary this week, India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar openly called out the United Nations for not doing enough against terrorism.
He pointed out that some powerful Security Council members are "shielding" those behind terrorist acts, which he says damages trust in the UN's global mission.

Jaishankar also criticized how decisions are made at the UN, saying it doesn't truly reflect its diverse membership or today's priorities.
He noted growing divisions and tactics that block much-needed reforms.
Still, he made it clear that India stands by multilateralism and will keep pushing for a fairer, more representative global system—especially when the world faces big challenges.
