That's a feature, not a bug. The entire purpose of the veto power in the SC is to give important countries the ability to prevent anything with which they don't agree. And since virtually every conflict puts the major powers on opposite sides in one way or the other, nothing can happen.
And if they agreed unanimously on a course of action, why do they need to take action through this body? I remember that the only reason they took action in Korea is because the Russians boycotted.
The only time the U.N. can ever act decisively on a key issue is when all the major powers agree, in which case they'd be perfectly able to act if the U.N. never existed at all. I'd argue that its existence actually make things worse, because too many people look to it to solve problems, when it is structurally incapable of doing so.
Exactly. I should have read your whole message before starting my reply. Yes, it is structurally incapable of being useful to humanity.
This is just as well, because I perceive most of Humanity to being quite wrong on all the important matters such as freedom, gun control, homosexuality, abortion, and so forth.
Thank God the UN is a toothless pile of shat! Now if we would only stop spending money on this dictator enabling scheme masquerading as a positive force in the world.
