Save the Secrurity Council

It is not just the Security Council that requires revision it is the UN mandate that must be amended.

That any member should have a veto denies the practice of democracy as any veto carrying nation could always frustrate the will of the international community.

Suggestions for reforming the UN are too complex to be expresed in this forum. If you are interested, you could read some of my comments on this subject at the liberalslant.com site in an article, "The UN is compromised--its future effectiveness is now in doubt" of 12/19/03 in the Archives and an article titled, "What if World Leaders and the UN had acted?" of 10/07/02.
