UN redundant if.........?

Question

Do you think if North America, South America, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, South-East Asia, East Asia, Certain Elements of the former Soviet Union, and Oceania creat their own separate EU like supranational entities (or something similar to this), the UN would be redundant?

Answer 1

The EU is more like a united trading block as opposed to the UN, which in my opinion is useless.

People in the US can't even agree on free trade agreements within countries of our own hemisphere, they'll never come to trade agreements with the parties you propose.

Answer 2

What you are proposing is more of a trading block and easing of cross-border commerce; the UN's work is something entirely different.

Answer 3

As long as there is more than one government there will be conflict which the UN is supposed to prevent or at least reduce.  Even with a single world government, if national governments still exist or even if one ethnic group thinks it is being mistreated, there will be conflict.  A single world government would still be the UN just under a different name so nothing would change.

Answer 4

Not really, since the UN's main goal (which it often fails at) is to broker peace between nations. Even with such supranational unions, there would still be conflicts, and they would need a forum for international discussion.
