GenevaNorth Korea, which is under sanctions for developing nuclear weapons in defiance of United Nations Security Council Resolutions, has taken over as head of a UN body aimed at striking disarmament deals amid scorn from critics.

This year North Korea has tested a flurry of ballistic missiles -- also banned by UNSC resolutions -- and appears to be preparing to conduct a new nuclear test for the first time since 2017.

"The DPRK remains committed to contributing to global peace and disarmament and attaches importance to the work of the conference," Ambassador Han Tae Song told the Geneva meeting, saying it was an "honor and a privilege" to hold the role.

Another example that the UN is a total joke. A taxpayer-funded joke.

Is there any doubt the UN is a cesspool of scum and a money pit for the elites to scam from?
I can barely fathom the indefensible stupidity.

The U.N. was already a joke and now it is a complete farce.

The U.S. needs to tell all its allies it is quiting the U.N. and they need to follow suit, and together we can have another forum for democracies only, as just a security forum - for discussion - and no other matters of concern to it.

UN Headquarters could be turned into low income housing for about 30,000 people.

Conservatives have been wanting the U.S. to leave the U.N. for decades.

Conservatives keep voting for Republicans. They use our votes to get elected. The Republican party has done nothing for conservatives.

Traditional Americans lose the culture war because we are not united.

Conservatives lose the political war because we are not united.
