"WEOG is a regional group, though its membership isn't based on geography... This is exactly why it cannot fully participate in things, which is why I posted "And it is still limits what they can and can't do because they are not a member of a regional group (Asia)."
Your own posts shows..."While Israel's admission into WEOG signified an important development, it remains excluded from the regional group system outside New York. Though Israel can be elected to a UN body that has seats allocated through WEOG in New York, it is prevented from participating in Western group meetings outside of New York, and from nominating candidates to positions in UN bodies where elections for those bodies are not organized by the New York regional group system. The vast majority of UN bodies, however, even ones that are based outside of New York, hold their elections in New York. Thus, Israel can now serve on essentially any body under the auspices of the General Assembly or the Economics and Social Council (ECOSOC), as a member of the Security Council, as well as on bodies like the Commission on Human Rights that operate primarily outside of New York."
Basically, "all are equal, but some are more equal than others." Even if the "vast majority" are elected in NY, it means that there are positions and conferences where Israel has no voice. No other country has that problem!
