Has the UN lost the plot?

Time to disband the UN? Whatever its remit, it doesn’t seem fit for purpose whatever the original intent. Could be doing more damage than good?

Sp. Tehran

I had relatives who lived in Terehan in the 70s like Paris allegedly! women had relative freedoms. Whilst the Shah had his secret police and was to an extent a puppet of America I'd have rather been a woman there then as opposed to now, what a giant step back for women once it became a theocracy. My next door neighbours from our previous home fled Iran after the Ayatollas took over.

I meant to add: when it stinks, look to China.

‘A talking shop’ - perfect description Terribull. Useless bunch of w***ers.

China have a dangerous relationship with Iran.
China has a huge influence with the UN.

The death of the 16 year old is a terrifying example of life for females in Iran. From 1979 when the Islamic Revolution replaced the Shah (king Mohammed) life for women seems to have become increasingly oppressive. I’ve British friends who lived in Persia, as it was then known, in the 70’s. Life is very different now, especially for women and girls

The Iran that has Morality Police who dragged some poor 16 year old off a train for not wearing a headscarf, beat her around the head which left her in a coma before she subsequently died. WTF do they know about human rights

The UN was set up in different days, maybe it served some sort of purpose then. For ages it has been a useless talking shop, it has had trillions of pounds thrown at it and achieves what exactly?

Seems to have lost its NY Director today!

Good grief : what that regime understands about peace,stability and human rights you could write on the back of a postage stamp.

has the UN lost the plot
Did they ever get it ? No!!!

Iran chairing the UN Human Rights Committee?
Words fail me!

Appalling.

From the Telegraph recently:

“One particularly egregious body is the UN Human Rights Council. A glance at its current make-up shows the utter madness, the moral topsy-turviness, and the futility of the organisation. It’s packed with countries with an ignominious approach to human rights, from China to Qatar to Somalia and Cameroon and Bolivia (currently a vice-president of the Council).

Perhaps given the decline of Western power, all this was inevitable. But it remains a terrible shame. After the Second World War, there was a sense of urgency and goodwill – or at least the pretence of it – because of the shocking nature of the previous 50 years.

It was in this context that the UN came into being: to promote stability and peace. The project has now become a stomping ground for those who hate both those things, and who want badly to destroy them.”

Only hatred of Israel unites the UN now.

There are no words strong enough for how I feel about it!

I think it’s shocking. A wolf in sheep’s clothing indeed.
Mind you I’ve become very disillusioned with the UN these past few years.
