The whole body of the SC is made up of five permanent members, who made sense at the end of WWII but do not anymore, and 10 random members such as Syria or Cameroon who rotate through. Here's an interesting thought to ponder... France and Britain hold permanent seats on the SC. What will happen when Europe unifies "officially" into the United States of Europe?? Why does France hold the UNSC seat, and not the EU?? Why would the UK be willing to give up its special status on the UNSC to join the EU?? Hawk@hmmmm.com
