UN General Assembly President Miroslav Lajcak has said that the Security Council reform process has made headway in the past year and "we are getting closer to agreeing" on what it should be like. Emphasising the need for a reform, he told reporters on Thursday that the inability of the Security Council to unite and act overshadows the positive work of the UN and the entire system "gets criticised harshly".
Therefore, the importance of the reform process "goes well beyond the role of the Security Council", he said. Lajcak said that he had tried to ensure that the reform process was a credible one "and I think we succeeded on that".

Reminder- the US is the president of the Security Council right now. Which means Pres. Trump will be presiding at the U.N. Security Council, a rotating role that falls to the United States this month.
