I think i not so much the Council itself that are selfish but the member races that sere in it. It is in their nature to be looking out for their own race first and they cant really be blamed for that. The Council is a weak alliance and once a great threat like the Reapers come, attacking important targets for each council race, the council races immedatly withdraw their military to defend their own interests. Ultimately the Council is left without the support of its member nation and powerless
