Time to Create a Legitimate World Organization

Not really. The UN was established to give each nation an equal say, at least in the General Assembly. There is absolutely no discrimination between nations based on their internal systems and structures. If there was, maybe we'd see some results.

I've been saying this for 4 years, and so have many others. My view is that only the opinions of democratic regimes are worthy of respect. The votes of nations that are dictatorships are simply reflective of the will of one person, or a small subset of the people of one nation, and therefore do not represent the beliefs of that nation.

The true world body should be the "League of Free Peoples". The views of this body might be worthy of respect. No resolution of a body of dictators should carry any weight.

The League of Free Peoples could perhaps have a "Chamber of Dictators", where they allow the representatives of dictatorships to spout their views, and sometimes there is merit to hearing what they have to say. But they would not be allowed to participate in the debate on resolutions and policy.

That would be an organization that we might not always agree with, but which we could at least give consideration to.

I can understand dumping the UN but why would we want to replace it?

My point exactly. We would just get more of the same so why bother? Just get rid of the UN.

How you can you have a legitimate world organization when most world governments are run by criminals?

"Frankly, I think the problems with the UN are inherent in that sort of organization."

The Tower of Babel comes to mind.
