India is a part of the G-4 grouping of India, Germany, Brazil and Japan.
India also has to contend with opposition from a group of 13 countries, made up of rivals to the G-4, including Pakistan, Italy, South Korea, and Colombia called Uniting for Consensus (UFC).
The UFC demands a 25-member Security Council, with more non-permanent members instead of a few more permanent members.
Uniting for Consensus (UfC) is a movement, nicknamed the Coffee Club, that developed in the 1990s in opposition to the possible expansion of the United Nations Security Council.
Under the leadership of Italy, it aims to counter the bids for permanent seats proposed by G4 nations (Brazil, Germany, India, and Japan) and is calling for a consensus before any decision is reached on the form and size of the Security Council.
