Islamic Bloc wants Permanent Seat at UN Security Council

.
You and I both know this idea is a non-starter.

Collective bargain is alright however the seat isn't a car which can be shared by the "family members". It is but an integral entity. So a clear candidate needs to be put forward and a case made for the candidate.

So OIC's voice can be used only as an instrument towards an end but not an end in itself.

Exactly
 
. .
What Bullshit is this? All countries in the UNSC are secular and democratic. This would have some merit if the UNSC was solely comprised of religious blocks. Being a Muslim country should unquestionably invalidate any entry into the UNSC since the impetus is on ummah and not nation states or humanity as a whole.
 
. . .
this has got to be a hilarious proposition. Islamic Bloc on UNSC? its united Nations not disunited religions. what next? the Islamic Bloc vetos the Jewish bloc?
its also outrageous that a religious entity gets into UNSC.
 
.
No new members will be allowed to the UNSC. Dot.

I believe country like India would actually benefit from what OIC is voicing. Till now there is no rule which determines the membership in the council. Heck there were none when it formed in first place.

So, OIC's voice will actually make it more convincing that a broad based consensus exists for UNSC expansion. Indians should milk it if they are intelligent.

No matter who does what. UNSC members wont allow a new nation at the table. India is wasting its time.

Nothing is impossible. You just need to have the commitment towards the goal. Might sound like a motherhood statement but plays across the chart.

it might actually showcase the fallacy of UN. That there cannot be a static organization with constant membership to represent a fluid world with changing dynamic relationships and orders.

Yes. A momentum needs to be ushered. Then if you play the cards well, you might end up getting the entry pass.

If it wasn't Turkey would be a member by now.
Well EU asked Turkey to leave religion from politics , Turkey was suppose to Join until religions leader didnt won the election and impose Islamic rules.
 
. .
How is this supposed to work? Saudis are mostly interested in having UN resolutions against Iran and Iran is mostly interested in having resolutions against Saudis. So if Muslims had a permanent seat, how would they vote on Yemen for instance? Saudia against Houthis, Iran against Saudia. I feel sorry for the poor muslim permanent representative to the UN.

The muslim world would need one seat for Sunnis led by Saudis and another for Shias led by Iran, a separate one for all the other little sects and Ahmedis would have an IKEA self assembling stool somewhere in the corner of the council room. :cray:
