So, you *don't think* that little tiny 'nations' like Micronesia getting EXACTLY the same single vote as big countries like the U.S. or China or India in the General Assembly is a problem?

I sure do.

So do many analysts of the U.N., and they have ever since it WAS FOUNDED.

(IMO, *military power* gets a significant upgrade of voting power in the U.N. via the Security Council... but, in our modern world, economic power is of major importance and should be reflected in the one 'all-inclusive' international organization that the world has. And, that was all I was arguing: that the U.N. needs MAJOR reform to correct these to problems.)

As to "Corruption at the UN is well documented", I never denied it.

('Corruption' has also been 'documented' in most every political organization I've ever heard of....)
