Udina is an advocate for humanity. If I recall even Anderson says that if humanity, the Alliance, were to do everything the council wanted it would mean greater cooperation and great relations with the others species but wouldn't be much of a deal for humanity. Someone has to look out for human interests and Udina is seen as such during his time as ambassador.
