	James Paul: Security Council Reform - Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council - Global Policy Forum - UN Security ...
		Council reform gained momentum from a variety of events: a meeting in Ottawa in April sponsored by the Canadian government to examine peacekeeping, the NGO conference in May, an Argentina-New Zealand initiative in September, a Benelux initiative in October and a variety of other efforts, formal and informal.
		Permanent Members have agreed to pay a disproportionate amount of the costs of peacekeeping, but (with the exception of France) they have provided few troops for peacekeeping forces and they have often been loathe to have their troops serve under UN command.
		UN members are especially concerned that the Council operates inconsistently, that it often does not enforce its own resolutions and that it sometimes ignores or even violates international law.

	letter by Ramsey Clark to members of the UN Security Council
		He and members of his administration have proclaimed the old restraints that law sought to impose on aggression by governments and repression of their people, no longer consistent with national security.
		The UN must act to reduce and eliminate all weapons of mass destruction, not submit to demands to punish areas of evil and enemies of the superpower that possesses the majority of all such weapons and capacity for their delivery.
		The violation of Security Council resolutions cannot be the basis for a UN-approved assault on any nation, or people, in a time of peace, or the absence of a threat of imminent attack, but comparable efforts to enforce Security Council resolutions must be made against all nations who violate them.

	Should the five permanent members of the UN Security Council maintain their veto power?
		This is due to their historical position at the formation of the UN after World War II, as they represented the victorious nations.
		The UN needs a constitition that will ensure no act that goes against certain basic tenets of justice and human rights can be voted on by a majority.
		There would have to be a security force, but that should be limited to conventional weapons, and it should be caommanded by representatives from many nations, much like NATO is (supposed to be).

		While reform of the Security Council is the subject of intense discussion, the decision will be made by the General Assembly, though it must be ratified by the permanent Council members.
		While there is widespread support among all UN member states to expand the Security Council to reflect the geopolitical realities of the 21st century, there is no agreement on how large it should be, which countries should get seats, whether the new seats should be permanent or temporary, and which members should have veto power.

	NESARA Needs World Court Intervention on UN Security Council Members
		The U.N. Security Council is one of these groups about whom I have not written in the past, mainly because until recently they have not been directly involved.
		However, the logic of these ten current voting members of the Council sounded suspect to me. No one who is truly caring about improving the world situation can justify causing a delay of "some weeks" when people are dying in the Iraq conflict.
		Thus these ten current U.N. delegates serving on the Security Council have decided that since NESARA is obviously going to be announced soon, they might as well make one last big financial gain for themselves.

	Should the five permanent members of the UN Security Council maintain their veto power?
		As I said before, it should be "members" NOT "member" in the question.
		I've studied the power of veto in the EU, but not in the UN - I assume that the rules differ somewhat in the two organisations and a basic outline of these nations' vetoing rights in the UN would be handy.
		For example: "The five nations mentioned are the only permanent members of the UN Security Council." and "Ten nations are elected by the General Assembly for two-year terms."
