Pope FAQ - UN
Question: Is Vatican City in the United Nations?
Answer: Ah Question, look who came crawling back. Anyway, Vatican City is a permanent observer at the UN with, since 2004, all the rights of a member nation, except voting (which really isn't that important in a body that passes resolutions via balloting of its member states). I think Vatican City actually had a vote for a few days, but the Vatican Ambassador insisted on whipping cue and 8 balls at Kofi Annan's head to signify his vote rather than using the little computer deally in front of him, so they disenfranchised the Holy See.
