Since publication, significant concerns have been raised about the fact that this commentary has substantial overlap with the following article, which was neither cited nor referenced:

Avijeet Kumar Biswas and B. Krishnamurthy, “Democratization of the United Nations: What is Expected of India and the European Union?”, International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering (IJITEE), 8 (9S3), 2019, pp. 1410-1416. DOI: 10.35940/ijitee.I3301.0789S319

In addition, the commentary contains substantial overlap with the following article, which was neither cited nor referenced and was not declared to the editors when the commentary was submitted to the journal:

Manoj Babu Buraga, “Democratization of the United Nations (UN): What is Expected of India?”, The Diplomatist, 21 September 2022. https://diplomatist.com/2022/09/21/democratization-of-the-united-nations...

Upon query, the author has not been able to provide a satisfactory explanation for this significant level of overlap. As this is a serious breach of our Editorial Policies, we are retracting the article from the journal. The author has agreed to retract the article.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our editorial policies and the COPE guidelines.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
