I found this funny. Then upon further reflection, I sussed out what the UN does. It gives small and/or poor countries the feeling they have a voice in world affairs, which is of course an illusion.
The permanent members of the Security Council have an actual voice, the others merely have a place to vent. Plus it's an excuse for a few of their elite to live a charmed life in a first world country, with all expenses paid and scofflaw diplomatic status.
