Should the United Nations be moved to a neutral sight , a small city state of its own ?

You're spot on. The UN is acting as a country unto itself. Their inability to operate effectively is proof. They sit on their bloodstained hands when they are needed most and point fingers and accuse when they need to STFU and sit quietly. The graft and deception going on in the UN almost makes the governmental back room dealing a non-issue.

it is not a new discovery. UN have been a puppet in USA hands for long time now. UN is useless when the subject concerns USA.

I have a political science BS and the UN as worthless as they are never sanctioned anyone to invade anywhere.  That would take huevos and authority, neither of which the UN possess.\nSeriously though the UN is only a small step above the League of Nations in that the US participate, kind of.  If we didn't it would financially collapse, have no home or military authority.  Where would they meet?  The Hague,  I don't even think there is a real airport there

This time, I don't care if the U.S. has to, metaphorically, take the UN by the scruff of the neck and smash their smug, self-righteous faces into the conference table.  I don't care if we have to berate and belittle them.  The UN is making itself IRRELEVANT.  It never does anything but talk.\n\nAnother person just wrote about the killings and starvation deaths in Rwanda and the Sudan, tacitly approved by the UN through their inaction.  We need a public relations campaign to improve the image of the U.S., and to expose the UN for the frauds they are.

if your waiting for the united nations to get off their butts and do something about genocide and injustice...good luck..\n\nseems they are only there anymore to pad their pockets and run down america which pays over 20% of their annual operating cost...\n\nin theory a "united nations" is a good thing...in practicality it has proven to be a bust....

the vatican city, located in rome, italy, is considered to be the smallest country in the world with 0.44 square kilometers.\nanyways, it depends on what you consider as a country.\nthe smom (sovrano militare ordine di malta, the order of malta) has diplomatic relations with other countries is a permanent observer in the united nations. and its surface is limited to some offices and a villa in rome, italy. \nthe principality of sealand is even smaller, because its surface is only that of a former military platform 7 miles away from the british coast, near london, uk. but it has nearly no international recognition at all to its claims of being a sovereign country.\n\nhttp://www.sealandgov.org\nhttp://www.orderofmalta.org/

When the United Nations was created many Arab nations were waring or just didn't want in. Now that the UN has expanded its the original members that are permanent, but thats only in terms of veto power. Now that there are so many countries with different agendas there are rotating positions that have veto power to ensure others have that power at times. But it wasn't because they wanted to screw other countries, it was simply timing. Wilson wanted a UN of sorts but it took till after WWII to finally do it.

Isn't the United Nations a fulfillment of that purpose?

That could be a bad idea.  Our veto power in the Security Council helps ensure that they don't resolve to screw with us.  When Russia got upset, stormed out and decided not to sit in a security council session, the Korean war started.  Basically, we would lose the right to stop other countries from uniting against us with legitimacy.  Part of the reason the UN is so stupid is because it is set up so that if any of the five superpowers doesn't support a cause, nothing is done about that cause.\n\nA US walk-out could make it a more effective body, united against the US.

Mainly because the U.N. won't act in a manner in which it said it was supposed to when first chartered.  A few nations take the initiative to be involved when there should be a general agreement on handling these situations by the majority of the nations to be involved

The United Nations is as useless as the League of Nations was.

Probably somewhere exotic but out of the way, less security, etc. I'm thinking somewhere like Cloud City.

NO IT CAN'T, BUT THE POLITICAL SIDE OF THE UNITED NATIONS CAN SHOW HOW FREE IT IS, BY SIMPLY ALLOWING PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY OF DIFFERENT IDEAS TO THINK ABOUT WITHOUT INTERUPTING.EXAMPLE IF YOU CHOSE H3LL FINE IT DOES'NT MEAN ANYONE ELSE CREATED IT FOR YOU.THAT'S ALSO LIKE SAYING IF YOUR READING YOUR BIBLE AND YOU WIND-UP AT THE PEARLY GATES IT DOES'NT NECESARILY MEAN YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE IS DEAD, OR ALL ANGLES...DIFFERENT TIPS FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS.
