Aside from some Asian countries (mainly Japan and China + Iran and Turkey in the western parts), a few cultures outside Europe have or have had some influence on the world (Arabs did/still do in some aspects but Arabic is already on the list). Also, some once strong empires like Mongolia have their influence as a country highly decreased nowadays.
After not shaving for a while:

Partially correlated with this is that the UN should seriously reform the Security Council - it should either abolish the very idea of permanent members, or alternatively (and IMO less desirably) it should include a greater number of permanent members.
As an aside, another language that is also spoken by 100,000,000 people or more, in addition to those I already listed, is Indonesian.

If someone doesn't read English, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese or Arabic, they shouldn't be reading UN documents.

For the same reason that Chinese isn't the one official language of the UN; despite the vast number of people who speak it, it's still regional. The UN is about global cooperation, so if you haven't bothered to learn a global language, why would you bother to be involved with the UN?
