the problem is that i remember talking to kofi about brazil designed to be the representative of latin america with mexico, venezuela saying they want to be the country to make the decision. the point is that the regional robberies in an area make it difficult for any country to be brought onto the security council in a different configuration, rather than the two-year rotation. in africa, south africa or nigeria could be considered to be a representative body and you will always have another country protesting that with an issue of the low-power exercised against the change of the security council and the regional robberies that prevents change from going forward. i am in agreement. i do not see much change happening with the veto power and there may be a change in the 15-member security council being expanded and it would be rotating the two-your appointments and broadening the number of countries and it may give decisions more legitimacy around the world. if you add in more countries, you may slow down the process of decision-making and it has to be weighed against decisions right a
