Libya demands permanent UN SC seat

It's not that weird when you give it some serious thought. After all, they already chaired the UN Human Rights Commission. They have the necessary experience. They are acceptable to all other members (except Israel of course, but they will never be on the Security Council so the point is moot). After all, all Arab countries are eligible to serve on the SC, most recently Syria has served on and even chaired it. Israel's position in the SC (and the UN in general) on the other hand is somewhat different...

Thus, without membership in a regional group, Israel can never be elected to serve a term on the Security Council or, for that matter, to the other most important bodies of the UN system, such as the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the World Court, UNICEF and the Commission on Human Rights.

The Charter of the United Nations proclaims "the equal rights...of nations large and small." But only Israel, among all the UN members, is denied the right to belong to any regional group.

Israel can NEVER be on the Security Council. It is the ONLY country in the world that holds such a pariah status.

Anyway. If you want to have a good laugh (or cry, as the case may be) read BBC - Libya demands permanent UN seat
