In defence of the UN, the UN schools in Gaza are rare sites of hope in normal times and invaluable lifesavers these days. And I have friends in the UN who were working their ass off trying to improve the situation even before the war broke out, and who I’m currently trying to convince to get some sleep between turns. The fact that the UN cannot work as a world police (except under exceptional circumstances and sadly so far strictly theoretically) doesn’t mean it does not have an important role to play.
It’s incredibly flawed, but it’s what we got, and at least it’s something.
Yeah, definitely. It’s far better to have an admittedly weak UN that still tries to and often succeeds in being an influence for good in the world than to not have it at all. Thanks for your insights you’re able to bring into this thread.
Exactly. Everyone complains that UN doesn’t act as world police, but we collectively created it so that it couldn’t be world police.
