| Iran will be the litmus test for whether China will become a responsible stakeholder in the world. |
| It is absolutely essential that a two-thirds majority be required for membership on the new council. Nothing short of a two-thirds majority will provide adequate guarantees that the council will not simply replicate the devastating membership problems of the commission. |
