    The UN is first and foremost just a forum for world leaders to communicate. The whole point is that everyone participates in it so it’s impossible for the institution itself to assume radical positions. It’s inherently a flawed system but it’s the best you can get right now with “superpowers” like the US, China and Russia.

        The only thing it enables is further spread of lies.

          It’s probably true that some of the countries that are members of the UN use that to spread misinformation and/or keeping the UN from doing a more effective job. However, to state that that’s the only thing the UN does is In my opinion is completely inaccurate. You’re welcome to look at my comments further up or go to the UN website yourself and see all the different areas that they make an impact in. Like I had said in another comment just because they aren’t perfect doesn’t mean they’re pointless. You’re welcome to come to your own conclusions, but I feel that the UN is a net positive in this world. I think it’s better to have the UN and actually work on improving it than to not have it at all.
