Most of the states in the world are members of global institutions, and this has been considered as proof for being accepted as an equal member of international politics and society. This is moslty framed for membership in the United Nations. Every UN member has a vote in the assembly, but in practical and binding decisions are made in the UN Security Council, consisting of five permanent and 10 non-permenant members. Since the UN Security Council has not been able to solve the conflicts in the world, it is criticised as being a platform for great power competition accoring to their national interest rather than being a source of implementation of international law and justice in the world. Given that this criticism started in the late Cold War era, several states initiated alternate platforms including bilateral agreements, taking actions by themselves if they can and also leading regional organizations to work out as a block to get their voice heard.
