Do you think United Nations should be reformed?
540192
I would like to see the United Nations become an agency with more teeth to it. It seems that most of the time, they sit around and talk and then after a few months of "You really ought to not do this or that", they get around to discussing possible sanctions, and ask permission to go see what may be going on. They don't act with enough authority. It would appear that any court of any of it's members could do a faster job of resolving a problem. (Maybe not to every ones satisfaction.) Why does it take the U.N so long? They need to become a world court that you don't mess around with.

The United Nations doesn't and will most likely never help the world.  It's a wasted organization that needs a lot less talk and a lot more action.

As if \nlol!\nEven though they founded the UN, and they house the UN, they seem incapable of working with the rest of the world at times!

Nope. I think each government should try to reform their own country instead of poking their noses into the problems of their neighboring countries.

Never. And maybe if we had stuck around in Iraq after the Gulf War instead of counting on the UN inspectors to do their jobs, we could have put out little fires before they became big ones.\n\nSorry for putting "UN" in the same sentence with "do their jobs". It couldn't be helped.

How about EarthGov?\n\nI think a world government would require a body sort of like the United Nations, but with the powers endowed in Congress.  I do believe that the U.S.'s three-branch system works well, and should be (with minor tweaking to accommodate everyone) used as a base.\n\nTherefore, a united judicial system consisting of people from around the world would be required (for the first few generations, until we accept everybody else as equal citizens), before eventually basing it just on qualifications.\n\nAn elected leader, like the President would be a good choice, just as long as that person is a good person and actually knows what he's doing (after all, he'd be leading 6+ Billion people.)\n\nYet the government would also have international abilities that the U.N. has, so no one could accuse one country of butting into another's business.\n\nAnd if the "New Founders" are ever not sure what to do, they can just reference to the dozens of movies, T.V. shows, and books which have covered this subject, such as "The 5th Element & Star Trek".

The reason why the UN is established in the first place is to have a neutral ground where international disputes and issues can be discussed by all the member states.  Therefore, I think that having the UN is better than having each state have their say on international issues using their own ways (wars, etc.)  It was after the second world war that this organization came to be.  Hence, it is an important impartial way of avoiding conflicts worldwide.

The U.N. did not fail anyone, because nobody should take the U.N. seriously. As far as I'm concerned the U.N. is right up there with the comic book strip. The whole f***ing program is run by a bunch of mindless, powerhungry socialists from 3rd world hell-holes that were living in the trees 2 generations ago.  Lets take a look at their resume':\n\nTHE OIL FOR FOOD SCANDAL\n\nWow, that really panned out, didnt it? Just like everything else, the bigwigs who sit in the leather chairs profited while people from their own country died. Hmm, sounds great to me! Besides, we(The US) created the U.N. for amusement only. The primitive war-mongers and cavemen needed something to do with their time, so FDR said "Heres the U.N. Run around over there for a while and leave us alone." It only spiraled out of control. If ole' Georgie DUBYA was half the president that his Bush-Bots think he is, he'd have the U.N. torn to pieces and sold for parts.  Its a joke. They even tried to propose a "U.N. Tax" a couple of years ago, yeah right. It'll be a cold day in Hell before I give those thugs a cent.  Look what their doing now, all they want is to disarm the members of the idiot countries around the world so that they can institute a world-wide socialist state.  You can thank George Bush Sr. for that one.  This is what I know for sure.  The day that the U.N. takes over  is  the day that I'll walk into the U.N. building with backpack filled with 68.2 pounds of C4, with the detonation set to my mobile phone. I'd rather be dead than to watch my street be patrolled by a bunch of Euro-Weenies with blue helmets.\n\n-J.\n\nReply to Leela(As if that is your REAL name)\nI dont believe that "We" know how to best tell others how run their respective countries, I just don't want the U.N. fooling around with mine. Here's a question: What organization in its right mind would have a country like Libya in charge of a human rights committee? Again, I dont care what other countries do, they can have all of the fun in the world. I'm not interested in making the laws in another country, and neither is any other American. We just dont want to U.N. over here, it serves no purpose for a country that is able to sustain itself. The U.N. would be good for a country like, um, Bangladesh, where the people are too busy cutting off limbs and gouging out eyeballs to care.

The U.N. is a useless entity. It is internally corrupt and uses it's power to benefit it's members. They make hollow threats to countries and never back their own decisions.

The idea of the United Nations is a great one.  In the sense that it provides a forum for nations to discuss their differences and develop compromises it does what is intended.  However, it has also been very ineffectual in stopping differences between nations which have entered into violent relationships.\n\nIt also promotes and lifts up to high positions nations which treat their own people in a terrible manner, thereby rewarding nations for not following the mission of the United Nations.  \n\nIt seems that the possibility of breaking up the United Nations is becoming increasingly likely.  Maybe that would be best and to begin again with a new direction.  Certainly many nations would (apparently) be happier if the United States simply left the United Nations and, maybe that would be best.

No, we sent whats his name to reform the un to do our bidding.\n\nThere will not be peace on earth until all humans are eliminated because good and evil are only concepts of humans.

Most definitely.  We need to do some cleaning up ourself before we can help others.  The U.N. is a good idea in itself (like Communism is, I mean you can't say the idea of it is a bad thing, it just doesn't work in reality) but so far it's been just a bitch.  I know I'm tired of going through the U.N. I mean just look at the dumping scandal.  No one can really be trusted anymore.\n\nMy only qualm is that if we go back into the Monroe Doctrine phase, we will resort to Isolationism.  We, being a world power and major influence (to some degree), can't afford to go back to being isolated.  It would just be like backing down and letting the world do as it pleases--no Americans, I would think, would want foreign people dictating how we should run our lives (just as noone else would want that, either).  So it's sort of a black and white question with so many gray areas it isn't even funny.

Of course. It would be a good choice nowadays too, considering the fact the US has been taken over completely. There is no longer a republic - The voting system is entirely a fraud. The US is killing thousands of innocents all over the world. The US is stealing the resources of innocent nations. The US is responsible for much more. The civil war happend for much less.

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?

I think the US should withdraw from the UN.  It has become uneffective and is mostly funded by the US.   The vote for donation is out of wack.  Nowhere else do those with the cash bow down and humble themselves to those who have been proven failures.  IE... Soviets, France, Most of Africa, etc....\nMost of the countries in the UN are all mouth and no money or support to back it up.
