… While the principles the UN was founded upon remain vital – especially at a time of conflicts in Ukraine, Sudan, Gaza, the Democratic Republic of Congo and elsewhere – they are also facing some of their biggest tests since the organization came into being.
“This is a good time to take a look at ourselves [to] see how fit for purpose we are in a set of circumstances which, let’s be honest, are quite challenging for multilateralism and for the UN,” says UN80 Task Force Chair Guy Ryder.
The UN80 process will involve three tracks of reform. The first will aim to improve internal efficiency and effectiveness through “cutting red tape and optimizing the UN’s global footprint by relocating some functions to lower-cost duty stations”.
The second will examine the thousands of mandate documents that dictate what the UN does in order to remove those that have become outdated and “prioritise and de-prioritise” the organization’s aims and work.
The third will look at whether “structural changes and programme realignment are needed across the UN System” to simplify operations.
…
The UN has repeatedly proven its ability to fulfil its mandate, from securing the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons to eradicating smallpox through the work of the World Health Organization (WHO) and creating UNICEF, which has helped millions of children receive everything from vaccinations to sanitation.
Even in the challenging context of recent years, the UN has continued proving its ability to strike major accords to help solve the world’s biggest problems. This year alone it has brought into being the Compromiso de Sevilla (a renewed global framework for financing sustainable development) and, through the WHO, the Pandemic Agreement, which will improve how the world prepares for and responds to outbreaks such as Covid-19.

The UN has been a totally useless organization since the beginning. All they do is consume tons of money and spread misinformation , hate and socialism.
Here’s an idea for change: Move the headquarters to Chad...
So why are they still here? Did they pass their own sovereign law or is there something Democrats did that we need to rectify.
Wouldn’t it be nice if they moved to some third world hellhole and worked around the people they favor?
“So why are they still here? Did they pass their own sovereign law or is there something Democrats did that we need to rectify.”
I’ve been asking myself that question for years. They are are an organization that is basically untouchable.
Yeah. But says who? Does chatgpt even know?
“..Here’s an idea for change: Move the headquarters to Chad...”
Exactly. Make it happen, President Trump. Kick their sorry communist arses to heck out of our country.
The UN evolved from the pre WW2 League of Nations. One of its founders is Alger Hiss, a convicted Soviet spy. That should tell you all that you need to know.
Yes. But without the talking and firm declarations of the UN we would have had a bloody Gulf War and deaths from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The UN stepped in and we avoided war.
Oh, wait.....
Get the US out of the UN.
The UN has outlived it’s usefulness long ago. Once they said “Never Again”. Since then, there have been many “Never Agains”. It’s not doing what it was intended to do, and it’s doing all manner of things it was never intended to do. Kinda like Fedzilla.
I'll start if you will. It is the scoundrels' last resort. Diplomacy.
To wit, are Embassadors useless?
The property that the UN currently sits on was donated by the Rockefeller family. All of the so called “delegates” were given diplomatic immunity. The UN was set up by International law after WW2. They are a pox on our country that needs to be eradicated.
So can we buy it? Say lower the world’s tariff by oh idk...5%..6%.
Both the world enslavement forum and the UN need to be disbanded for good.
Venezuela and Afghanistan would work well too.
We should turn it into low budget housing for the illegals.
Congo has been at war since the 1960’s.. Go UN.
The way the UN was established after WW2 is that they are an entity all to themselves. As far as the state of New York and the city of New York, they are basically untouchable. The UN property is a separate entity from the rest of the country according to international law.
