Member states of the Non-Aligned Movement called on Sunday for the United Nations to give more influence to developing countries.

As the Cold War-era group wrapped up its 17^th summit, its members said the U.N. should open the Security Council to more states and put more value on the self-determination of emerging powers. […]

Venezuelan President Maduro said the U.N. should not only be reformed, it should be re-founded, with all nations on more equal footing. …

The whole U.N. needs to be abolished, period.

I’m 4% Neanderthal; I demand representation at the new UN as an oppressed minority.

Venezuelan President Maduro has no problem interfering in the internal affairs of countries like Columbia, an American Ally. But don't interfere with his tyrannical regime or he will stop selling you oil.

Now that the price is down, he can take it a stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

The UN needs to tax Socialists, to be fairer...

[BuffaloJack]

The UN needs to be disbanded and the UN building in Manhattan needs to be knocked down and the property reclaimed for better uses.

The only “movement” that I would like to see from the U.N. will be for them to move out of this country, once and forever.

Being in favor of abolishing this travesty requires a process. I figure that the best way to do this is to make an offer to the Chinese and Russians.

First, the Chinese should build another UN in Beijing, then the current UN should move there for, say, 50 years. And then Russia could build its own UN, so the UN would move to Moscow for the next 50 years.

You figure that this bunch of worthless, stupid, aggressive a-holes and the Chinese would piss each other off so much that the UN would be a nearly abandoned relic within a decade. In the overcrowded, polluted hell hole that is Beijing.

But the Chinese couldn’t resist the “prestige” of hosting this barrel o’ monkeys, and it would take quite a while for them to realize they had been suckered.

Was there a process for the abolition of the League of Nations?

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Non-Aligned Movement? LOL. That thing still exists? Someone should let them know that there no longer is an East-West divide.

[MortMan]

I say they re-found themselves in Venezuela - without US dollars or participation.

[Little Ray]

I agree.
The UN should be reformed - somewhere else, with the USA no longer a member.
The UN building site in New York city would be great for a parking garage.
