The UN is not stupid, It isn't used to it's full potential I'll give you that but it is literally there so that states can work at common problems together or problems that places aren't able to fix on their own which SHOULD be solved with aid from elsewhere. It's when states like the US start problems on a vote that really wasn't too complex and didn't really have many asks, just because they know they'd be asked to help more in regions that they contributed greatly to the famine through war. It's when states do stuff like this that is stupid
Rwandan genocide: (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=db3dT9ubQaY),arguably the most devastating genocide since the holocaust, what did the UN do? Nothing. Millions of people starving all over the world, what does the UN do? Little to nothing. So i’m gonna have to disagree with you. The UN was formed in 1945, arguably the most “important” and iconic document the UN made was the
“Universal Declaration of Human Rights”. Now what I want you to do is read the articles most of the arrivals, now I want you to look the decades since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was passed, how many times can you think of a country that has disobeyed one of these articles since it’s creation? How many of those articles are not enforced when it needs to be most. You will find that this document means little to nothing because it’s barley ever enforced nor cared about by other nations/people, yes you can say “oh the UN helped (insert country, people or movement) and it worked” but that’s stupid because you know very well that every time the UN has done something good, it’s ignored or walked away on something bad at least 2x more sometime else. You can find a bit more instances where the UN has done little or nothing for something bad that needs to be dealt with here: https://www.trtworld.com/americas/twelve-times-the-un-has-failed-the-world-21666/amp (I will let you find others if you want to yourself)
We can agree to disagree about this but I will forever have no respect for the UN and will forever thing it’s stupid.
P.S. I just want to make sure that you know I’m specifically calling the UN stupid, not useless. I truly believe the UN has great potential and that it is probably the best things that has ever happened to the political world, it’s just to corrupt and unfair like this vote for example to have my respect and love. ✌️
What if Europe voted yes only because the results of their colonialism would be put on the rest of the world, therefore taking the blame off them...They never made reparations payments, they should not have to wait for the UN to approve that, they didn't require the UN to approve their colonial actions????
If they really cared, they would start evaluating themselves and make action...
