Kofi Annan who served as the seventh Secetary-General of the United Nations said "The council should be reformed, it can not continue as it is. The world has changed & UN should change and adapt"
The current SECURITY COUNCIL does not reflect the economic reality of 21st century. Countries like India, Japan, Brazil, have lot more relevance & influence in global scene. France & Britain have lost their power & their role was taken by Japan & Germany. These two countries are 2nd & 4th largest UN contributors.
There is no permanent member from Africa and Latin America
It seems like there is a growing dis balance between developing countries and developed countries. 4/5 of the worlds population lives in the developing nation. 4 out of 5 permanent members are industrialized and 4 out of 5 are "European".
Expansion will increase the transparency in council. this will make more democratic as there would be more participant present
Since Asia covers 30% of the geographical area and has 60% of the worlds total population but still Asia has only one super power i.e People's Republic Of China. All permanent members work for their own geographical and neighboring land, talk about their own profit and means. If the UNSC expanded then all members will be added then all regions will be able to short out their problems. This will help to having global problem around the world and also the differences between the developing nation and developed nation will be less.
