UN fictional debate


Given the situation that the six official languages of the UN, English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese and Russian, and a few potential candidates, Kiswahili and Hebrew for example, were to be in a debate; The UN wants to circulate languages. Which languages should be maintained? Which language should go? Should a candidate language get a chance to get in? Why/Why not?

I thought it would be an interesting discussion.
 
What are your opinions, if this conflict were to be real?
