Domo, Olmert and his band ARE the lib element of Israeli politics.\n\nAs for the question, the UN, with a few exceptions, is nothing but a group of world criminals, dictators, and terrorist appeasers and/or practitioners.\n\nThe UN won't even acknowledge "terrorism" for these reasons.\n\nDamn, I like Bolton-- and he was right to veto that slanted, one-sided, accusatory "condemnation" article.\n\nIf Hammas would stop firing Kassam rockets from Gaza into Israel.....................

The UN is a toy for the rich countries that keep it in existence.  Without funding from the US, the UN would be even less viable than it is now.  Do you have an example of this toying or is it just your impression?

The United Nations is a global government to which 191 nations belong. Your question makes no sense because there already is a "global government."

I am outraged! --- I have been for some time now...\n\nI've said it before, and I'll say it again:  I cannot begin to fathom how ANYONE would entrust ANYTHING to the tainted bureaucracy of the U.N., especially when led by the woefully corrupt Kofi Annan...\n\nThe U.N. needs to be COMPLETELY OVERHAULED, or DISSOLVED. Until any of those things happens, I suggest that the U.S. and its allies take a a long and scenic detour off of the U.N. 'Pretentiousness Highway'...

The goal of the United Nations was to increase discussion between nations in an effort to prevent global conflict.  But has it worked or does it really have any jurisdiction over its members, no.  Many nations, such as the United States of America, have failed to ratify much of the UN charter.  For example, the US has not ratified the International Criminal Court, a separate judiciary entity somewhat affiliated with the UN.  However, the UN does play a somewhat integral part in maintaining communication with outside nations. A great example is the UN's efforts to aid with peacekeeping in Darfur.  Though this is seemingly unsuccessful, the UN has worked to maintatin the prescence of peacekeeping troops in the region. \n\nHowever, this leads to more problems.  Throughout the years, peacekeeping troops have been known to rape their refugees and commit other inappropriate acts during their mission. This increases the negative opinion of the UN and its actions among nations.  In addition, when nations such as the US blatantly violate the charter and the UN declarations, it suggests the ignorance of global opinion. These events lead to greater tension between nations instead of increased pacifism, as the body is designed for. \n\nNo nation, due to the act of sovereignty, must abide by the laws of the UN.  This is solely because if the rules of the UN were more heavily imposed than national law, prominent UN nations, the UK, US, France, etc., would have greater precedence in the domestic politics of smaller nations, such as Swaziland.  This would lead to an almost imperialistic setting where global superpowers would be able to enact laws that colonized developing nations and poverished nations.\n\nI hope this answers your question!

Yes, UN is outdated and could not survive without the U.S.A. The big fix is that the security council needs to be re-constituted with the following most populous and influential nations in the 21st Century:\n\nUSA\nChina\nRussia\nIndia\nEuropean Union\nIndonesia\nBrazil

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.

The United Nations is a very necessary organization on many levels.  Any place that attempts to foster communication between so many diverse member states is necessary.  Their other works like UNICEF, UNDP, UNIFEM etc. do much to improve the living of millions of people around the world.

Rock, you refer to that exclusive club called the Security Council of the United Nations.\n\n5 permanent members are China, France, Russia, UK and USA - with the power to co-opt members as and when necessary.\n\nSince these guys rarely agree on anything, it doesn't matter that no other member Country is permament.\n\nThe full United Nations membership is a different story....

yes, the UN is controlled by the free masons. they also do more harm than good eg, the sex for food scandal. where UN officers were trading food that starving people were suppose to be receiving in the 1st place were being traded in exchange for sex, small girls and boys were exploited.\n\ngo here for more info\n\nhttp://www.intellectualconservative.com/article3483.html

In the General Assembly, each country is entitled to one vote on any issue.\n\nIn the Security Council, things are about different.  Only 15 countries sit on the Council, and 5 of them are permanent.  The five permanent members (China, Britain, France, the United States, and Russia) still all have one vote, as do the 10 others.  The permanent members, however, all have the power to veto any legislation.  So if just one of the permanent members disagrees with the resolution, it will fail.

The UN has always been a joke.  Recent US actions didnt change that they just pointed out what we all already knew.  I am visiting Bosnia and all the places that were designated UN safe zones where everybody got murdered because they were foolish enough to trust the UN.  Until the UN actually shows it is competant enough to do something (anything) the US and other countries like Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia will just keep doing whatever they want whether you agree with these actions is another question.

The United Nations actively pursues anti-American policies and appeases America's enemies, while being largely funded by $3 billion worth of annual American dues. After revealing the depth of rampant corruption in the UN, it is time to recognize the changes in Old Europe and redesign America's alliances that line up with America's national interests. \n\nIf John Kerry and Hillary Clinton have their way, Kofi Annan and Jacques Chirac will gain veto power over American foreign policy. Scared? You should be. It could happen. And in Inside the Asylum, former deputy undersecretary of defense Jed Babbin shows just how it could happen and why the UN deserves the nickname "The Asylum." \n\nIn the Asylum... \n\n* the UN assists international terrorists. Babbin exposes the shocking links between the UN and terrorist organizations. \n\n* The money trail from the UN to Saddam Hussein. It is time to rip the veil from the outrageous Oil-for-Food program-proving that the UN sold its moral legitimacy for oil, stuffed its own pockets at the expense of the Iraqi people, and undermined American pressure on Saddam Hussein: the UN's cash cow. The UN's Oil-for-Food program, provided Saddam Hussein with the means to bribe politicians, to deprive his people of needed food and medicine, and to literally steal billions of dollars. There is even emerging evidence that money from the program might have gone to support al-Qaeda. \n\n• The UN's raid on the American Treasury: dominated by Third World staffers who consider the United States Treasury "the common heritage of mankind." Kofi Annan, the UN secretary-general, is an anti-American moral relativist who misses no opportunity to arrogate power from the United States to the UN. \n\n* The United Nations and the European Union are morally bankrupt-and open enemies of the United States. France and the United Nations have cost American lives in Iraq by their perverse delaying of American action in the Iraq War. American troops are fighting and dying today because of a terrorist strategy Saddam Hussein developed while France and the United Nations delayed Operation Iraqi Freedom. \n\nThe UN is more of an international criminal than a dispenser of legitimate international law. If America wants to retain its sovereignty and security, it's time to escape from the UN asylum and say goodbye to the false friends of Old Europe. We owe no tribute to the UN and the EU, We should not be ashamed and divided to look after our own defense." \n\nThe United Nations building in Manhattan is an international enclave, no longer American territory. Inside the Asylum is a powerful argument that it's time to reclaim that land for America.
