There are proposals to increase membership from Asia, Africa, and South America.

Correct Answer:

Some countries and experts want the organization to play a greater or more effective role in peace and security missions

Explanation:

On the reform of structures and processes, the biggest discussion has been on the functioning of the Security Council. Related to this has been the demand for an increase in the UN Security Council’s permanent and non-permanent membership so that the realities of contemporary world politics are better reflected in the structure of the organization. In particular, there are proposals to increase membership from Asia, Africa, and South America. Beyond this, the US and other Western countries want improvements in the UN’s budgetary procedures and administration.

On the issues to be given greater priority or to be brought within the jurisdiction of the UN, some countries and experts want the organisation to play a greater or more effective role in peace and security missions, while others want its role to be confined to development and humanitarian work.
