    Please also get rid of the Security Council Veto.

    Better yet get rid of the Security Council all together and do everything in the General Assembly. With the 2 thirds majority requirement for passing items.

      UN votes are largely symbolic, they have no actual policy function in almost all cases - member states must create and ratify separate treaties for that.

      Removing the veto just leads to the veto-holders even more flagrantly undermining the UN’s authority.

      League of Nations was bold from time to time. That didnt help. The UN, the security council and the veto rights is all about maintaining the status quo.

    Yeah, i would encourage all international communities to boycott the US entirely until Pedo don is in prison and the nazi’s aren’t in charge any longer.

    Good. This was my initial reaction. “Move the meeting somewhere that Trump doesn’t have the authority to block people from attending.”

    Just move the whole organization away from the US. Out of our territory. And if possible remove our veto.

      It’s a wild indication of how far things have fallen apart that for so many decades, “the US isn’t going to do any crazy fuckery and it’s safe to host this vital transnational infrastructure there” was working fine.

      Also, completely agree. IDK where the UN should be hosted going forward, but it sure as shit should not be the US.

      As much damage as the American veto does (especially regarding Israel), I’m afraid of a version where Russia and China run the meetings.

    Imagine spending decades building up a supranational institution to buttress your position as global hegemon and then throwing it all away for your genocidal pet project.

    That’s the goal here.

    The Trump admin wants to get rid of the UN, this way they can say we didn’t leave - they left us.

    As if this would change anything . That’s not the answer. The answer is to keep deviating from the usa policies. Remove all the stupid conditions for a two state solution, stop saying a future palestinian state need to be demiliterized, stop saying israel has the right to defend itself. Impose cuba style sanctions of israel. Countries should stop lying about them stopping selling weapons to israel
