ABSTRACT
BRICS New Delhi Declaration 2026: In the context of international institutions, the need for increased representation of the developing countries. This paper asks the question if these commitments can make a difference in the decision-making, specifically within the United Nations Security Council and the International Monetary Fund, in terms of demands for a multipolar world. It contrasts the declaration's proposals with the institutional rules and amendment procedures and required approvals, in a doctrinal and analytical manner. The analysis concludes that the declaration does not in itself redistribute legal authority, but offers a basis for cooperation. Implementation will be based on specific proposals, agreement beyond BRICS, and reconciling different national interests. It also identifies a higher influence of the big developing economies compared to a wider participation of smaller developing economies. Global justice calls for institutional reform which must be done both with an eye to legal feasibility and with an eye to representative fairness. The paper suggests more specific proposals for reform, safeguarding the influence of poorer members, wider consultation and openness over progress. It argues that the impact of the declaration's on inclusive governance is contingent upon its promises leading to forms of institutional participation that go beyond the most powerful states.
Keywords: BRICS; New Delhi Declaration; multipolarity; global justice; reform of the Security Council and IMF governance.
