Munyati., ZIMBABWE NEWS VOL: 26 NO. 5, 1995 Editorial Reformation of U N overdue ADDRESSING delegates at the 50th anniversary of the United Nations in New York, President Robert G. Mugabe called for the overhauling of the Security Council. The President of Zimbabwe became the first world leader to offer constructive criticism in the search for lasting international peace and security. In the past, several world leaders expressed similar sentiments to President Mugabe's call for the rationalisation of the UN system. But none of these leaders was able to take the bold step of hitting the nail on the head. President Mugabe did not simply call for bringing the UN system up-to-date in line with the clainging world order. He boldly called for the overhauling of the structure of the Security Council and its replacement by a body that reflects regional representativity. Most Third World leaders know from the depth of their hearts that President Mugabe's way of thinking reflects their own view point but fear of the United States and other big powers compel them to keep low profiles. The need to "overhaul" the present UN system is now an urgent necessity if Third World countries are to survive as sovereign regions. The insistence by the West that the present status quo in the UN system should be preserved is based on the ideological need to perpetuate the inequality of the capitalist system. The West would like the present UN Security Council's permanent members to act as a gestapo over Third World countries. Through the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the West has established the group of 7 (G-7) which acts in the same way that the permanent members of the Security Council work at the UN. The substance of this unfair arrangement is the defacto dictatorship of the majority by the few. The world now moves on the dictates of the G-7 in financial and economic affairs. In political, social and diplomatic affairs the same world is forced to allow UN permanent members to determine the methods, extent and manner of settling international conflicts. Any such settlement has to conform with the strategic aims of the five permanent members of the Security Council, otherwise its chances of being implemented are nil. Third World countries constitute 60 percent of the UN membership while the West is under 20 percent; Africa alone constitutes about 35 percent of the UN membership. The five permanent members of the Security Council constitute only about nine percent of the UN membership yet they virtually control the UN system. This is why President Mugabe called for the overhauling of the present UN system. The West will not agree to the reformation of the UN system because doing so would reduce their status from that of dictators to that of democrats. These countries do not want the democratisation of the United Nations. Success in reforming the Security Council will automatically become success in uplifting the development of Third World countries and the end to internal civil wars and regional conflicts. This is so because one or the other of the permanent members of the Security Council is always behind this or the other Third World conflict. 12 ZIMBABWE NEWS VOL: 26 NO. 5, 1995 President Jurges teaching of national languages Dear Editor I wish to express my disappointment on teacher Alex Mabharani's letter (Zimbabwe News Vol 26 No. 4) in which he castigated, Chemist Mafuba's
