It's way past time for the United Nations to be overhauled : On 25 April 1945, 50 governments met in San Francisco for a conference and started drafting the UN Charter, which was adopted on 25 June 1945 in the San Francisco Opera House, and signed on 26 June 1945 in the Herbst Theatre auditorium in the Veterans War Memorial Building. This charter took effect on 24 October 1945, when the UN began operation : In it's present form the UN does not represent the modern world,India is currently the world's third largest economy,but does not have a veto,while the UK and France which have the 9th and 10th largest economies based PPP have a seat at the table : In 1945 when the UN was set up it reflected the power structure of the post world War 2 world,70 years on and that structure no longer applies,t's time for India,Germany and Japan to take their rightful place at the table,France and the United Kingdom are part of the old power dynamics,they represent the past,it's time to focus on the present and future of the world.
