Uniting for Consensus bloc rejects new permanent UNSC seats, backs elected expansion

A 12-country group (Uniting for Consensus) opposes adding new permanent seats in UN Security Council reform, instead advocating for expanded elected membership, longer-term rotational seats, and limits on veto use in mass atrocities. This signals a firm counter-position to the G4's push for permanent seats, likely complicating reform negotiations. The outcome remains uncertain as the proposal faces resistance from permanent members and other blocs.
