There are 193 state members in the United Nations.
The five members of the United Nation Security Council have veto power: India (1,463,865,525), China (1,416,096,094), US (347,275,807), United Kingdom (69,000,000) France (65,000,000) and Russia (143,000,000).
The most productive nations include China, US, Japan (pop 113,103,479), India, and collectively, the European Union with 27 nations and population of 450,400,000, and Russia with the 11th largest nominal GDP economy in the world.
The top ten largest nations by Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) GDP in 2024 are China, United States, India, Russia, Japan, Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, France, and the United Kingdom. PPP is a measure of economic output that adjusts for differences in price levels between countries, giving a better comparison of the actual purchasing power of economies.
First of all, the top ten nations in GDP, based on purchasing power (PPP) should be members of the UN Security Council with no one having veto power. This eliminates a veto problem that has bedeviled the UN since its inception.
Democracy should be the applied metric. A specified proportion of votes in excess of a simple majority shall determine the outcome.
For example. The Israel/Gaza war has been one of the most horrendous wars in modern history, second only to the holocaust. A NATO military effort should have been inserted and, at minimum, there would have been no famine.
Had we a more democratic UN, religious persecutions would be eliminated.
Religions should not be the norm. Theocracies have been among the most murderous cause of wars for millennia. Religions should not be the norm when the issues are economic and social.
For example, in the current conflict between Palestine and Israel, an organized NATO military effort should have been inserted and, at minimum, there would have been no famine.
Belligerence should never be the norm. Co-operation should be the norm.
Religions should not be the norm. Theocracies have been among the most murderous cause of wars for millennia.
