I assume you mean favorable characteristics of membership? If so, yes. That said, I don't remember if recommending a state for membership is considered a substantive or procedural matter, so it's possible that the P5 don't have veto power over that issue. In which case, I imagine it's pretty easy to find 9 of the 15 UNSC members to recommend any given state, and the more that happens and those states get accepted by the UNGA, the more likely it is that the next state will be accepted too. Currently, all internationally recognized states are members of the UN (it has been that way for awhile, though I don't remember how long exactly). It's a nice ideal, and there are benefits, but as we can see it is not without its downsides.
