Security council may reorganize to resemble UN HRC

Islamic nations should be represented in an expanded U.N. Security Council "in proportion to their membership of the United Nations," according to foreign ministers of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). In a resolution passed at a meeting in Uganda last week, the ministers pointed to size of the Islamic bloc in the international community, noting that its members make up "one-fifth of the world population." Any proposal to reform and enlarge the U.N. Security Council "which neglects the adequate representation of the Islamic Ummah in any category of membership ... will not be acceptable to the Islamic World," they said. "The OIC's demand for adequate representation in the Security Council is in keeping with the significant demographic and political weight of the OIC member states." ==== but the ummah or kaliph means ONE big nation. Therefore one seat! ---------- One model suggested by an expert panel appointed by former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, for instance, would establish six new permanent seats - two each for Africa and Asia, and one each for Europe and the Americas. An alternative model discussed by the panel would add no permanent seats, but create a new, semi-permanent tier of eight seats -- two each from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, occupied for four-year stints, and subject to renewal. Neither of the models put forward envisages seats earmarked for non-geographic groups, such as a bloc of Islamic nations. The resolution passed in Uganda leaves unstated exactly how many seats in an expanded Security Council the OIC would want set aside for Islamic states, but to satisfy the demand of being represented "in proportion to their membership of the United Nations," it could arguably press for 30 percent of the seats. (Of the 192 U.N. member-states, 56 are OIC members. An "independent" Palestinian state would push the number up to 57.) --- I added the quotes. Will they subtract one when Lebanon becomes officaly Syria or Iran?

Should all of the world's Christians assert themselves in like manner, since they're a third of the world's population, then? We already have too many terrorists on the Security Council (commies include Red China, South Africa, Vietnam; Russia's become totalitarian again, as have Italy, Croatia and Belgium; Indonesia and Libya are Islamist). It's a complete travesty.

Someone remind me why after WWI and WWII, we defend Bosnia and albania now? Bosnian TV alleges Muslim official linked to 9/11 attacks BBC Monitoring European. London: May 9, 2008. Excerpt from report by Bosnia-Hercegovina Federation public TV, on 5 May [Host Bakir Hadziomerovic] On last night's [Bosnian] Federation Television prime-time news, it was reported that the OHR [Office of the High Representative] anti-corruption team was completing an extensive investigation against several individuals involved in economic crime, aiding war criminals and terrorist activities worldwide as well as individuals involved in the wide network of construction mafia. Based on reliable information, tonight we are revealing the names of the people whose illegal, criminal and terrorist activities have already been proven by the anti-corruption team. According to exclusive confirmations [that we have received], the investigation conducted by OHR experts concerns Hasan Cengic, member of the SDA [Party of Democratic Action] Main Board and a person who during the aggression against our country was the master of the TWRA [Vienna-based Muslim charity suspected of helping smuggle arms into Bosnia and channelling funds to radical Islamists] donor chest. In addition to Cengic's criminal undertakings involving donated funds worth several million, which "60 Minutes" has repeatedly reported on in detail, the anti-corruption team has allegedly come into possession of a document in which Hasan Cengic personally signed a money transfer intended for the Al-Qai'dah 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
