The UN is completely rigged in favor of the US though. Why would anyone would to back out of an organization that can only pass resolutions with the approval of their country? Think about it. The Security Council CANNOT pass a resolution that the US disagrees with. This organization is completely to the benefit of the permanent security council members.
France is a permanent member of the UN Security council, so is Russia, UK, and China.
