Quote: Get rid of the veto, revamp the security council. Give the general assembly the power to raise an army in the case of severe human rights abuses.Says a Canadian. Motes and railroad ties, Jester. Someone must do something, so long as it is someone else, who can. (Note: The Canadian Forces have earned a good rep as peacekeepers, it's just that there are so few . . . ) So, with that in mind, whose blood and treasure do you wish to use for your altruism?
Quote:The United Nations has been toothless for too long, and the poor and vulnerable of the world are dying by the millions because of it.The millions are dying due to man's fundamental inhumanity to man. The UN, for all of its faults, has mitigated that in many cases, so that the slaughter has not been worse. The cause is not the UN, the cause is the nature of man.
