Urges United Nations to seat India as permanent member to UN Security Council.
SR 20 is a symbolic New Jersey Senate resolution urging the United Nations to make India a permanent member of the Security Council. It does not change UN rules but highlights India’s status as a large democracy, major contributor to UN peacekeeping missions, and economic power with 78 years of UN membership. The resolution cites India’s seven non-permanent Security Council terms (14 years total) and its role in global organizations like the G20. It will be formally sent to the UN Secretary-General and U.S. UN representatives as a recommendation, with no binding effect on UN membership structure.
