The countries within the UN are countries; they may not all be democracies. It is extremely important to have as many countries as possible within the UN. If countries such as China (not a democracy) were not represented; the UN would be very ineffectiveand have no purpose. These countries right or wrong do represent their people. If the UN was composed of only legitimate democracies and excluded countries that have or cause problems it would be a just a coalition of countries to control undemocratic countries. With these countries within the UN, they can be worked with and encouraged to be more democratic and fair to their people.
