taiwan was for a long time representing china mainland china and that was changed so i don't. i'm not sure you can really think of the security council reforming itself because those countries are there to protect their own interest for while you have the majority of them having very similar interests but that is not the case now and as we've seen with any. should or should i say the heating up of a new cold war or freezing of relations between the main western powers and russia you come back to the sort of stalemate that you used to have during the height of the cold war so i don't think that you're going to find any sort of real change in the security council. i think that the real possibility of some sort of difference that the u.n. can make is through the relief agencies all of the agencies i mean. you know it's not a relief agency it's there to improve. i recall true throughout the world as these sorts of agencies that might make a real difference in. preventing humanitarian disasters or containing them in the future so this is in part about relevance and about transparen
