Jokes aside, I strongly believe spreading the unbiased truth has massive power, so I wouldn’t want to be on the badside of an organization with the singular largest investigative capability on earth.
Considering the 5 countries that were supposed to coordinate in enforcing the rules immediately went for each others throats and that two of them have a competition on who can accumulate more violations of international law, the UN is actually going an amazing job at preventing the world from going up in flames.
I mean, the world is going up in flames. That is a pretty big thing that is happening. Those 5 countries and their mutual defensive pact allies are responsible for a majority of global emissions that are heating the planet to the point of uninhabitability.
Billions of people will die violently, for a large part because if the UN-mediated stability of capitalist global trade and its unlimited industrial capacity to make the planet uninhabitable.
The UN with its veto system has effectively prevented non-permanent UNSC member nations from coming to binding agreements and pushing them on the privileged few. 6 billion people from across the world matter less than 70 million British people, even though India and Pakistan both have nukes too.
When the stupids figured out nobody would enforce consequences shit took a noise dive. It wasn’t good before but there was slow progress, now they’re just wrecking shit with impunity because the cowards who have the authority to take action say shit like “how could this happen” instead of finding their balls and doing something about it.
ol_capt_joeThe UN needs teeth

edgemaster72Why is no one following international law? I specifically requested it.
nothingcorporateWhat do you mean no enforcement?! Them saying they are concerned IS the enforcement! 🤣
All it took to dismantle global peace was the children of the original peacemakers asking “but does this serve me?” War was too profitable for the rich to abandon.
ORbituaryWhatcha going to do? Send blue-hats to observe?
MaeveWhite helmets even?
Sure. That…I was half asleep.
Well UN “peacekeepers” wear blue, iirc, so I thought maybe you were speaking about that. I was just commenting on the White Helmets from Syria, who recently showed up in Venezuela. Neither group are loved where they go, but their masters love them, as long as they support the masters’ agendas. Noticing the difference between mission and ostensible mission.
I was talking about UN.
Well when you don’t hold the permanent members of the security council responsible for their actions, then of course it’ll be disregarded by those not on it permanently.

DeadWorldThe US should be shackled under the rules and auspices of the UN. Force it to provide a % of its military to UN enforcement. Becoming a dog of international rules is the only just way forward for USA
Ridiculous! Let’s place all our hopes and prayers in China instead.
How’s it looking, DRC? Massive ebola outbreak? Shucks.
Uriel238 [all pronouns]The UN has a long history of having this complaint and no-one being willing to enforce international law. It turns out the US (allegedly the world police) doesn’t actually engage in military adventurism for humanitarian reasons, but for colonial ones (which it then tries to justify by pointing to humanitarian crises.)
In the 1980s, GURPS Supers (the superhero supplement to the Generic Universal Role-Playing Game) offered an alternative reality in which high-powered superheroes worked for the United Nations and gave them actual teeth.
It was before the internet and we didn’t have as much cause to be so cynical then.

The League of Nations condemns Germany for rebuilding their military in violation of international law!
Expecting countries not to violate international law is like expecting a dog to not eat a three-course meal: they won’t when you’re watching and ready to hold them back, but as soon as they know you won’t do much you better believe those dishes will be licked clean.
Well, without consequences why should anyone care?!?
Is Interpol going to arrest them?
No enforcement, no law.
International law 101: International law does not exist, as it are not laws but agreements nobody is held accountable for.
Yeah. Me too.
