THIS is with reference to Dr Maqsood Jafri’s letter ‘UN’s shortcomings’ (Nov 19). I suggest that the strength of the UN’s Security Council’s permanent members should be increased to seven.

India and Pakistan both should be inducted as permanent members of the Security Council.

None of the permanent members should have veto powers.

Furthermore, nine temporary members should be elected for a tenure of two years.
