The UN Demonstrates Their Irrelevance - Again
James Doogue
The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly passed a resolution demanding Russia completely withdraws from Ukraine. Only 7 countries voted against the resolution.
So what? That resolution will change nothing. It has no legal standing, and can't be backed up with say a UN backed coalition to isolate Russia or kick Russia out of Ukraine.
The UN Security Council, is supposedly charged with maintaining international peace and security, but it is paralysed by Russia’s veto power.
The UN is in desperate need of reform. Russia is in blatant breach of the UN's laws on territorial integrity. Their membership of the UN Security Council should be able to be suspended because of this. But there is no mechanism for suspending a veto country from the UN Security Council.
This major flaw in the UN organisation allows any of the Veto power countries to ignore the UN when it suits them.
No country should have veto power in the UN. But the UN also needs to revamp its idea of democracy. It's not right that a member country with a population of around 11,000, such as Nauru or Tuvalu, has the same vote as countries with more than 1.4 billion populations such as India and China.
Not that population should be the only metric in weighing a country's voting power at the UN. Other metrics such as GDP, could also be considered in creating a more representative vote at the UN.
What's certain is that if the UN ever had any relevancy, they lost it some time ago. Without a fundamental change in the UN's structure and voting system we may as well disband it and officially recognise the WEF as the global controller.

I'm with you there, all the way. The UN was damaged goods as soon as they let the USSR in, and from then on it went downhill.

It was a flawed concept to begin with. Just another vain attempt at building the Tower of Babel.
And all it has been is a way to try to squeeze money out of the U.S. It's basically a protection racket. When mobsters do it they call it racketeering, when the U.N. does it it's "peacekeeping".
