Members of the UN have expressed dismay over Syria becoming president of the Conference on Disarmament (CD) in Geneva.

So is this is a public relations disaster for the United Nations? A sign the body is dysfunctional? UN officials have been wearily pointing out that the rotating presidency system was devised by member states, primarily to prevent more powerful countries constantly jockeying for position.

Syria takes over from Switzerland simply because it follows Switzerland in the alphabetical list of member states.
