UNSC undermining General Assembly's authority: India

The prerogative and authority of the 193-member General Assembly, "which is the closest institution to a world parliament," have been "progressively undermined by the Security Council through its frequent attempts to redefine its scope of competence through wider and permissive interpretations of what constitutes a threat to international peace and security", K. Nagaraj Naidu, India's Deputy Permanent Representative, said on Monday.
