Pakistan, Nigeria? Juan your problem is you don't understand what the UNSC is all about. Small nations have already anarchized the UN. That's the little boys club. But the Big Boys club is no democracy.
The SC is the place where WWIII can be avoided. This is the "avoidance" center. There's no room for discussion and arguments. A veto is usually the weapon that stops a major conflagration.
More voters only complicate matters and eliminating the veto would only bring chaos.
If every country is supposed to be equal there should be only one membership fee equal to all. US is not just a big boy, but the financier.
I believe that the UNSC should only be the three big ones. European powers ought to be sent to minion land.
#9 giving one step exile and extradition waivers is incompatible with the purpose of the UNSC decision and NATO's intervention. Qaddafi and his family must not get a reward for crimes against his people. Libyans will be the first ones to question this once a new government is set up. They would want justice and restitution of funds stolen by the Qaddafis. Qaddafi must face criminal charges.
The idea of adding more members to the UNSC is asinine. The more nations you add the greater the stalemate. Adding a Muslim nation is all that's needed to increase world terrorism and Islamic radicalism. Indonesia, a more democratic and secular nation is a better choice, but tje whole thing smells of Juan Cole's pro-Islamist bias.
Brazil has no business in the UNSC. If anything it should be reduced to USA, Russia and China. These three nations have the capability to maintain world security, if any, the best.
Otherwise, the UNSC could become as impractical, useless and biased as the UN itself.
Pretty soon South Africa would have to be accepted because you need an African nation, Australia because it is a continent by itself, Mexico because Brazil is too South, and on...
If you're so concerned about Saudi women driving, where's your concern for Iranian and Afghan women being stoned, Egyptian and Congolese women being raped, Indian women being sold into marriage, and Muslim women treated as objects under Sharia Law?
