sometimes i really feel that the UN is no longer an effective governing force.
it has no power against terrorists.
it has no power to stop conflict
it is like a bargin table for diplomats fighting for their own interests.
it is weak
it need to change
what do u think
Give the UN or the UN Security Council enough FUNCTIONAL Executive Power and Authority over ALL NATIONS, and with an effective ENFORCEMENT Agency, then the first candidate to redeem the good name of the UN will be our SM.
SM Lee had lamented that the post of the Secretary General is practically IMPOTENT, and so is that of the UN.
Recent events in which the French Government is prepared to veto any resolutions that include the use of Force to disarm Iraq, is a clear indication how any one nation can put a spanner into the smooth gear mesh of the United Nations.
