I have looked and looked myself -- In fact, the place I had bookmarked from last year no longer appears. I have found numerous mentions that the five permanent security council members have agreement among themselves that no one from those countries will serve. Last summer we had a whole resolution on the fact but I cannot find it.

In fact, the UN site is not even close to what it used to be. I had seven different bookmarks on various items for the UN and none of the bookmarks work!

I cannot even find the amendments for the UN that I know are there. Everytime I click on the link, I get an error message.

"...five permanent security council members have agreement among themselves that no one from those countries will serve."

That's what I had seen, as well. However, it looks as though that isn't set in stone. Check Marianne's post #161.

Yes, the UN site isn't what it used to be. The only thing I found there is that the Security Council can set it's own rules. If they want Clinton to be Sec. General, they can do it.

Yuck!;o(
