G4 Summit: UNSC Reform is Unrealistic ?

PM Shinzō Abe of Japan, President Dilma Rousseff of Brazil, PM Narendra Modi of India and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany today gather to discuss the proposal to push for a reform in the United Nation Security Council with an aim to bring about UNSC enlargement on the sideline of the UN summit in New York. However, UNSC reform still remains the uphill battle ,meaning that they have a very long way to go in order to win the bids for permanent memberships.There are tremendous challenges facing them ahead. Actually, all of the four countries are suitable to be granted permanent seats, but each of them can't secure the wide support.
Japan has been the largest financial contributor to the United Nations' budget, and PM Abe has considered peace building as one of the top diplomatic priorities. Particularly, his move to propose new security law, allowing Japanese forces to engage in oversea military mission is somewhat seen as expansion of the role of Japan in maintaining international security and peace. But Japan's goal of becoming UNSC permanent member has been so far opposed by China.
Another major power is India. People believe India should become UNSC's permanent member since it is known as the largest democracy and has essentially become the 4th largest contributor of the peace keeping forces to UN mandate Peace Keeping operations, but its bid for a seat is objected by its neighboring countries including Pakistan and China.
Brazil, by far the largest economy in Latin American, is also striving for the permanent membership of UNSC, but not many Latin American states are induced to perceive Brazil as the trustworthy nation representing the interests of the region at UN's most powerful organ.
Last but not least, Germany, which is the most influential and economically powerful nation in European Union, has been acknowledged as the most important actor to help resolve global issues. For example, Germany has been playing a major role together with P5 in achieving Iran nuclear deal. However, Germany can't convince most of European countries to throw enough supports behind its bid.

Where is the legal effect of the Chemical weapons convention in our global?

Image
The Chemical Weapons Convention has been known as the Convention on prohibition production, development, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their destruction. This convention was drafted in 1992 and signed in 1993 by 165 signatories. In 1997 it came into effect, and it has had 188 parties since 2012. However there are six countries that neither acceded nor signed this convention such as A ngola, Egypt, North Korea, Somalia, South Sudan , Syrian ,and two states Burma , Israel that have not yet ratified this Convention . So there must be a problem for those that have not yet acceded this convention, and their civilians must be the victims of the use of Chemical weapons. This convention has no legal effect at all to impose sanctions on those non-parties states, thus the military intervention is the best way to against to the use of chemical weapons. By the way being a non-party of CWC, Syria has been accused of producing and using so far from its neighboring countries Israe
