BRICS countries, along with other Global South nations, have voiced their discontent with the United Nations for several reasons. Chief among their concerns is the significant influence Western nations wield in key international organizations and decision-making processes. These countries believe that the current UN framework does not adequately represent their interests and viewpoints. Consequently, the BRICS nations are pushing for a more democratic and inclusive structure within the UN.
