As fairness is a subjective term, let's analyse this in terms of what countries are able to do in the situation.

However, the General Assembly allows for these tinier nations to be heard on a global platform, while reigning in any truly disastrous schemes via the permanent bodies of the security council which hold veto powers over any errant decision.
