UNITED NATIONS – Pakistan has described as the “mother of all absurdities”the uncompromising stand of countries pursuing permanent membership of theUnited Nations Security Council (UNSC) single-mindedly, while complainingabout lack of headway in the negotiations to reform the 15-member body.
Without naming the Group of Four countries — India , Brazil, Japan andGermany — Ambassador Maleeha Lodhi alluded to these states, and said “It isdisingenuous for some to stick to their demand for permanent seats whilelamenting the lack of progress.”
