   The "Security Council" is a cold-war artifact for
   the most part, "elitist" too. Russia wouldn't play
   if it could not block the USA and vice-versa.

   However the general membership is pretty damned bad
   of late - far too many countries run by the worst of
   the worst and/or those just hoping to scam some cash
   by making customized UN edicts.

   IMHO, it does not serve its intended purpose. Never
   really did, at least not well. Now - flush it.
