It just so happens that I've been arguing with a group of liberals and have been compiling a list of UN failures. It's pretty bad when even Ammnesty international and Human Rights Watch are calling the UN a massive failure.

Here's what I have so far. If anybody has any to add just let me know. Left leaning sources that trash them are best of all.
