Here's my UN Security Council (model UN in high school, w00p!)
U.S., 2 rotating members from the Americas, Britain, 2 rotating members from Europe (Russia being in the 'Europe' country tally), 2 rotating members from Africa, India, China, Japan, and 2 rotating members from Asia. And a seat for the Emperor Penguin representing Antarctica.
Dues should be a fixed percent of GDP, no matter which country you are- say one-hundredth of one percent of GDP.
Leave General Assembly as is.
Reform committees that promote democracy and civil rights so that countries that have none of either are no longer dominating them and bottling up resolutions. (I recall Libya at one point holding the chair of the human rights committee and the anti-proliferation committee at the same time, the irony brought some serious bile to my throat.)
