Best Answer

The Security Council is currently viewed as presenting the state of international affairs at the end of WWII. The dynamics of power have changed a lot since then. States like the G4 nations of Germany, Japan, India and Brazil are the new economic powerhouses and feel that their influence should earn them a seat on the Security Council.

The G4 also supports an accession to the SC of two African nations - probably South Africa, Nigeria or Egypt - to make the SC more representative of the world's population. Currently 4/5 of the nations are caucasian-dominated, three are European, yet most of the world's population is in Africa or India (which are not at all represented).

The 5 permanent members were the major Allies in WW2 and thus most likely to be the ones providing most of the military forces in any action the Security Council chose to take, so they should always have a say in decisions by the Security Council. They were also given the veto for the same reason.
