For the 60th anniversary of the U.N., the world peace keeping organization is seeking to make changes in the Security Council to reflect the modern makeup of global power.

Brazil, Germany, Japan and India are nations seeking permanent membership on the Security Council. Thus far, the existing five permanent members, The United States, Russia, China, England and France have agreed to add new members to the security council but do not wish to give the new members the same veto powers that the current members have.

The four countries in question, known as the G-4, have circulated a draft resolution Monday which states, 'The new permanent members should have the same responsibilities and obligations as current permanent members,' the draft says. 'The question of the veto, however, should not be a hindrance to Security Council reform.'

There are two plans presently circulating in the U.N. Plan A includes the addition of new permanent members of the Security Council while plan B allows only for semi-permenant additions.

Secretary General Kofi Annan has asked the General Assembly to vote on changes to the U.N. Charter and the makeup of the Security Council be September. It remains to be seen how much influence the G-4 nations will hold in the next incarnation of the United Nations.
