Yes. Like I said, I know very little about how membership into the UN is decided. By my thinking, it would seem that a nation would have to show (at least) the motivation to adhere to the principles set forth in the UN charter to be up for election. Of course, looking again at the member nations, I suppose that isn't the case.
