That is a ridiculous thing to say when major global players like the US, China, Russia and Israel flout international law with impunity.

I think the UN and it's roles and capacities have been misunderstood by some of us. So far I can say that the UN has had a significant and positive impact in global affairs in that in the least it has provided a formal frame of reference for conduct and interaction for the states of the world.

On the higher side it's a legitimate authority in the setting and sustainance of global standards that at least entails collective reason and participation.

Issues of implementation are open to state's political machinations and though the UN is sullied in the wake of these machinations and failings, it's role is more often than not, well played.


The last paragraph in my post has conceded your concern.

Sounds like the inscripition on the mysterious Georgia Guide stones of 1980 smile

Here is wikipedia's excerpt:

The Georgia Guidestones is a granite monument erected in 1980 in Elbert County, Georgia, in the United States. A set of 10 guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient language scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.
...In June 1979, an unknown person or persons under the pseudonym R. C. Christian hired Elberton Granite Finishing Company to build the structure...
A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones[9] in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones.Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian.

1.Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2.Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
3.Unite humanity with a living new language.
4.Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
5.Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6.Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7.Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8.Balance personal rights with social duties.
9.Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
10.Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature.


Creepy?

The United Nations has a radical, dangerous vision for the future of the Web

Quote:
Under U.S. law — the law that, not coincidentally, governs most of the world’s largest online platforms — intermediaries such as Twitter and Facebook generally can’t be held responsible for what people do on them. But the United Nations proposes both that social networks proactively police every profile and post, and that government agencies only “license” those who agree to do so.
