Should the UN be wound up?

Let's delude ourselves no more: The UN is beyond redemption. With its obstructionist policy on the Iraq issue and which will repeat itself when the Iran issue comes up for a decision. Its Oil-for-Food scandals with unaccounted payments being received by Kojo Annan, son of Kofi Annan, the Secretary general, the time has come to rethink the future of the UN.

The Future of the UN needs to be re-looked at. We can at least start winding up the UN by asking it to vacate its premises at New York, suspend all financial contributions to this peacetime talking shop and replace it with a formal, Emergency Council. Maybe the UN could relocate to Paris, Berlin or maybe to Geneva where the defunct League of Nations once had its offices, before the outbreak of World War 2.

The time is soon approaching when we shall have to supercede the UN with an Emergency Council that could authorize the member states of the alliance to take contingency civil and military measures to overcome any unforeseen situations that would pop-up once the global war against terror become more intense with Syria, Iran Pakistan and eventually Egypt and Saudi Arabia becoming the targets of pre-emptive US action.

During a war all dissent is prohibited and if necessary all dissenters who disturb the war effort are kept in check and/or custody. Today we cannot keep the governments of dissenting states in custody. But we can at least start winding up the UN by asking it to vacate its premises at New York, suspend all financial contributions to this peacetime talking shop and replace it with a formal, Emergency Council. Maybe the UN could relocate to Paris, Berlin or maybe to Geneva where the defunct League of Nations once had its offices, before the outbreak of World War 2. Story Credit The Globe and Mail
