    An application for admission to UN membership must be approved by the Council before being forwarded to the Assembly, where the matter requires at least two-thirds support to pass.

    You are just factually wrong about this.

      Oh fuck. I was pretty sure about this, but never actually read the statutes.
      Thanks for educating me, and refraining from the insults I deserve.
      So I guess 5 nations do decide who gets into the Good Guy club. I admit I’m a bit disillusioned about this.

        Tbf I think you’re right about the general assembly recognizing them as an “observer state” that’s not part of the UN without security council approval, which I wasn’t aware of.
