Dear Mr. Editor

The role of the UN since its' inception has not been positive and productive so far as the problems of the Muslim world are concerned. It was founded in 1945 after world war 11 with the aim to stop wars between countries and promote and facilitate the noble cause of human rights and civil liberties. At its' founding nation states there were 51 member states; there are now 193. Five countries were made the permanent members of the Security Council. They were America, France, England, Russia and China. They have veto power. If one member vetoes any bill or resolution it can not be passed. It is a shear discriminatory provision. The first three countries belong to the Christian-- capitalist bloc and the other two belong to the Communist bloc. The Muslims have no representation in the Security Council as a permanent member. There are ten temporary members for two year period in the Security Council but with out veto power. Pakistan is a nuclear Muslim state. It should be made the permanent member of the Security Council.
The UN needs reconstruction of its' structure. The veto power of five above mentioned countries must be abolished. All decisions should be done by the one third majority of 193 members of the UN. Otherwise it will meet the fate of League of Nations. In the case of Namibia, East Timor and South Sudan, the UN under the American influence took rapid steps and they emerged as states on the world globe. But in the case of Palestine, America had been exercising veto power and in the case of Kashmir, Russia vetoed the debates. The Palestinians and the Kashmiris are the victims of unprecedented atrocities being inflicted uopn them by the Israeli and Indian predators and aggressors. Both the countries, Israel and India have violated the UN resolutions. The world conscience is ether dead or slumbering on these burning issues.
Therefore, it is imperative that UN must not be used as a maid of any country and all member states should have equal share and power. As the UN charter claims to maintain peace, how about peace in Middle East and Sub-continent?
