@Sebastien: Switzerland and the Security Council --- 1. There was no joke about the Swiss objection to have decisions taken by the Security Council on its soil, in 1945. It is a fact retained by historians.

2. I see Switzerland as an ideal member of the Security Council. To me it's much better to have a neutral and objective member instead of powers with vested interest or members of alliances which will unconditionally align to some decisions.
