The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization headquartered on international territory in New York City.[1] It was set up after WW2 and is the most powerful intergovernmental organization in the world.
Contents
Official narrative
A forum for discussion and working out of differences without using force, to:
- maintain international peace and security
- develop friendly relations among nations
- achieve international cooperation
- be a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations
History
John D. Rockefeller III, on behalf of his father donated 8,5 million USD for the purchase of the site of the UN building.[2][3] The Rockefeller Foundation also played an important role in the transition from the League of Nations to the United Nations.[4]
Structure
The two main organs of the UN are the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly. The former has a smaller membership - 15 members only, including five permanent members (China, France, Russia, UK & USA / the P5). The permanent members have veto powers, and the security council's approval is needed for resolutions involving military force.
Concerns
The United Nations is a thoroughly corrupted organisation probably beyond repair. For decades it has not been able to keep it's own peacekeeping forces in check and focused on their mission.[5] At headquarters cronyism and greed govern actions.[6][7] The Security Council debates have been called "a sham" and few governments even stay to hear. Non-permanent members have essentially been relegated to a role of rubber-stamping decisions made by the P5 or choosing between their contending positions.[8]
Innercitypress
Matthew Russell Lee was banned from the UN for his very critical reporting on issues related to corruption within the institution.[9][10][11][12]

Examples

| Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices | |
| UN agency | autonomous organizations which work with the United Nations |
| UN/SC | The military arm of the UN. It is able to change rules in the UN Charter, and is able as only UN entity to send or deploy the military of the UN and its permanent members to countries. It hasn't proved to be very consistent and is often in a stalemate because of veto powers and deep lobbying. |

| 2023-2024 Israel-Hamas War/Israeli invasion of Gaza | “UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said after a key Hamas operations center was discovered right beneath his headquarters that he had no idea. That's absurd. There was a very advanced tunnel with electrical cables, which supplied a Hamas server center with power. That came directly from UNRWA's electricity grid. Moreover, a few years ago, UNRWA staff noticed that an entire parking lot above it was starting to subside. So what do you mean, we couldn't have known anything?” | Hillel Neuer | 2024 |
| Walter Cronkite | “It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace....To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order...We cannot defer this responsibility to posterity. Time will not wait. Democracy, civilization itself, is at stake. Within the next few years we must change the basic structure of our global community from the present anarchic system of war and ever more destructive weaponry to a new system governed by a democratic UN federation....Today we must develop federal structures on a global level. We need a system of enforceable world law - a democratic federal world government -to deal with world problems.” | Walter Cronkite | 19 October 1999 |
| UNRWA | “UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said after a key Hamas operations center was discovered right beneath his headquarters that he had no idea. That's absurd.
