At the last meeting of the Open-Ended Working Group on the Question of Equitable Representation on and increase in the Membership of the Security Council and Other Matters Related to the Security Council, on 17 June, a task force composed of Ambassadors Ismat Jahan of Banglasdesh, Heraldo Muñoz of Chile, Roble Olhaye of Djibouti, João M Guerra Salgueiro of Portugal and General Assembly President Sgrjan Kerim, who made the appointments, presented their status report to the membership. It included a reform suggestion based on the idea of a transitional approach. If they were to use this approach, Member States would agree on basic reforms now, with a view to revisiting them at a mandatory review conference to take place after an agreed-upon period; at which time states could reverse or amend their previous agreed upon arrangements. The article provides some additional insight on the legal and political implications of such a transitional approach.
