Does anyone really believe that the UN is as influential as it was in the 50’s and 60’s? In every major conflict in the last twenty years it is the U.S. that leads and the UN that follows. The UN likes to talk and run around and pretend that they have some relevance but for the most part they just waste lots of money and sit around and jabber to each other.
The UN can occasionally be of use as President Bush (41) used them to aid the US in the Gulf war. Whether you think the Gulf War was a good war or not it was the US leading the UN around.
Whenever America disagrees with some UN plan we either ignore it or Veto it. Take the recent Conference on Racism held in Durban South Africa. What penalties did America pay for skipping it?
Go back to the 60’s and look at all of the pro-UN propaganda coming out of our media and public schools. Now days when the UN is mentioned in America it is most apt to be with derision. Count media articles that are favorable verses unfavorable. The situation has completely reversed from what it was in the 60’s. I see no evidence that the UN is getting stronger or more influential. Right now the UN is a tool that can occasionally be used by America to serve its interests or simply ignored at our discretion.

Tell it to Michael New. Tell it to the the American public when the WHO denied the US PERMISSION to vaccinate for smallpox. Tell it to the farmers and ranchers who are having their land stolen by agencies enforcing UN treaties that aren't even ratified. Why do those agencies belong to the IUCN? What is a Polish IUCN lawyer doing writing policy papers on how to control land use in the US using Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act? Why was the IUCN exempted from all civil liability by President Clinton? Tell it to the parents who are having the terms of the Rights of the Child forced down their throats by a complicit NEA. Why does the Secretary of What are UN bureaucrats doing on our borders demanding care of migrants and why is that migration being treated as a universal right? Treasury get his paycheck from the IMF? Why do American soldiers return to their families in coffins draped with UN flags? Why are so many State and local governments adopting Sustainable Development per the Agenda 21?
Simply because you do not understand how global governance works does not mean that it isn't happening.
