India's permanent UNSC bid faces UN Charter amendment hurdle despite P5 support
- India has served as a non-permanent United Nations Security Council UNSC member eight times in eight decades.
- Expanding permanent membership requires a UN Charter amendment under Article 108, a major hurdle for India's bid.
- India has support from four P5 members, US, France, Russia and UK, but not explicitly from China.
- A Charter amendment needs a two-thirds UN General Assembly vote and ratification by all five permanent members.
