In this era of multiple crises eroding multilateral institutions, G20 needs to choose “reformed multilateralism” over “reinvigorated multilateralism.” As a next step, it should come out clearly in favour of an expanded, more democratic, more representative, and more accountable UN Security Council (UNSC). The effort by the UN General Assembly to make progress in this direction has yet to produce results in the past three decades. Therefore, shifting from a bottom-up to a top-down approach, G20 leaders should consider incorporating a calibrated but forward- looking paragraph on UNSC reform in the Delhi Declaration. A special mechanism is needed urgently to draft a jointly accepted formulation.
