<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Syria is only one of the many member
countries of the ITU. They are no more influential than any other
member. <br>
The most efficient manner for a country to influence the ITU is to
threaten not to pay its contribution to the UN budget, like the US
has done several times in the past. <br>
<br>
Anyway, the ITU is not involved in national policies. Such things
will continue to happen. Many governments just ignore whatever
comes out of the UN system anyway. <br>
