Do you think the United Nations should be dissolved, why or why not?

Question

Do you think the United Nations should be dissolved, why or why not?

Answer 1

A world without the UN? Are you kidding me? Personally, I agreed with George Washington when he warned the US to beware of foreign entangling alliances. But, since Wilson had to go and s***w that up, we must tend to our oath.  Without the UN, the world as we know it would end abruptly.  Our econonmy depends so much on foreign trade. Losing those alliances would be teterous to both the US and other nations.

Answer 2

No it shouldn't be disolved. The UN does far too much good work around the world such as immunization programs, providing food for regions that need it, etc.

Answer 3

Never. The UN works in some ways such as in disaster relief situations as well as peacekeeping . That being said however, when member nations have veto privileges,that undermines the very fabric of the entity. Kinda like having it both ways. Sit around your dinner table tonight and try to reach a consensus on anything, almost impossible to get all to agree. If the UN was based on a majority of at least 70% to sanction or more severe options and all Nations that join the UN agree to abide by the 70% rule, then things can and will get done. As it stands now, the US is in Iraq without UN support, however Afghanistan is another matter. United Nations means just that, Nations United in a cause, unfortunately because of veto powers, at times, it is more like US UN, or RussiaUN. Defeats the whole purpose.

Answer 4

when you have an organizations that issues ultimatum and then is unable to deliver or act on those it becomes obsolete

ineffective.  for the last several years it have become plague with scandals and is filled with people that want to advance their own political agendas.

Answer 5

no i dont think it should be dissolved , but honestly think it should be restructured.....and an alternative means of fundin should be made...reducing infuence on the organization by western powers...and having powers over disputes and havin military might

Answer 6

If the permanent members of the UN are unwilling to give up their veto, then the UN should be dissolved and reformed without any veto power.

Answer 7

If at all UN will  have to be dessolved,some other organization will come up to keep a wold order. So dont worry.

Answer 8

of course not

but the United Nations is currently a joke for refusing to ever stand up to the crimes of the United States of America and Israel. We are exempt because of our military might... and Israel is exempt because we say they are

A stronger UN is needed

Answer 9

It should be supported not suspended! Imagine everyone of the 50 US states saying should the federal government be dissolved and let states rights take precedent! The direction of progression is toward larger governing bodies not smaller ones. What can be larger on this world than a global UN? The US is going to have to agree to relinquish some of its sovereignty and submit to the General Assembly when it comes to global issues!
