[Colin Glassey] Let Mr. Sparks Count the Ways the U.N. Has Failed
This is a very nice summary of problems and failures of the U.N. over the last 40 years by Adam Sparks. Here are some quotes:
The organization has never removed a single tyrant or replaced one with a constitutional democracy, because doing so is simply not a part of its charter. The U.N. and the American Left both want one-world government brought to you by an organization that is by and large composed of representatives from tyrannical, nondemocratic nations.
Why should Americans want to emasculate their own sovereignty in order to be run by the likes of Syria, Libya and Sudan, each of which has a vote in the U.N.? Is the Left so tranquilized it doesn't know that despotic member nations of the U.N. outnumber the constitutional democracies?
...
In 1994, Rwanda underwent the worst episodes of genocide since the Nazis. At the time, the U.N. had a sizable presence in that country, but when a debate over the issue bogged down in the U.N. Security Council, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan recalled the organization's peace-keeping forces and, in less than 100 days, more than a million Tutsis were brutally massacred. Subsequently, the Security Council approved a French-led military intervention, which ironically provided a safe haven for the Hutu killers.
...
In July 1995, in Srebrenica, Bosnia, a U.N. peace-keeping battalion in a U.N.-declared "free zone" handed over 8,000 Muslim civilians to the Serbs, who promptly slaughtered them all. There was no U.N. inquiry to review that terrible human atrocity. Instead, soon after this massacre, Kofi Annan was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
...
Moreover, the U.N. has failed to resettle the dislocated Palestinians since Israel's creation 55 years ago. These "refugees" continue to live in squalid ghettos under U.N. supervision -- and largely at U.S. expense. More than 50 years later, these are now the world's oldest refugee camps -- occupied by second, third and fourth generations from the original refugees -- whose inhabitants still refuse to be integrated into neighboring Arab countries. And, considering that these refugee camps are also headquarters for several terrorist factions, why, then, does the U.N. still feel compelled to pick up the tab?
Why exactly does anyone support the U.N. now?
The U.N. needs to be replaced by an international organization that is only open to constitutional democracies. Further, it needs to allocate votes based on population, not based on nations. Finally, it needs a constitution itself which contains the means of reforming it.
