India may be asked to replace France on the Security Council.

The security counsel is doomed as long as one country can veto 14 others. IMHO, the five permanent members should have to have 3 of them vote to enact a veto.

The UN should never become more than an arbitration board.

If two countries are in disagreement and seek a forum for debating and resolving the disagreement then the UN can serve a purpose.

But the UN should never have any true power at all. It should never be able to legislate, adjudicate or militarily enforce sanctions.

Just as corporations use arbitration boards now to avoid court battles, so then could the UN be used. But only if both parties choose to accept the rulings.

This is a bad idea considering how anti-Israeli the body is. The US has vetoed several of these despicable resolutions by ourselves. We could never bring the french or russians on board.

Whohoo, slowdown there, the UN is only an advisory body. It has no jurisdiction nor checks and balances nor legit representations per say amongst its members.

Be carefull. We can still veto many bad ideas by other member states. From the looks of the crowd on the security council, there are alot of bad ideas there.
