I think the problem of the #UN is its permanent "security" council. It has too much power and wasn't even in the spirit of its Charter, lately. It's the obsolete part, I guess.
Yes, that's what FA is referring to cf GA
But, no, if you read and listen to her, you'll see she's saying the colonial west created the charter to serve colonial interests. The un & its charter were intentionally racist from the start.
And more specifically, the US has used its veto to give Israel immunity for 75 years.
And it is the member states that must police the law using BDS.
The un and courts have no police force.
Ok. But if they wanted to change that in the interest of all, they could do that kind of changes, instead of rejecting the whole thing. They know where the problem is, knowing the theoretical "#UN" idea in itself wasn't aimed to go that way. That they made it "racist" from start doesn't change the necessity of that kind of globally thought peaceful organization. & even with this Charter, the manner they veto as they do isn't right on course, they take liberties even with this one.
Who is "They"?
The un and its sc were created by and for western racist powers.
It still is.
Which "they" is gonna change that?
"They" is general...the world, I guess ? If it has a conscious of itself ? By "the theoretical UN" I mean an organization where everyone is on the table with humanity & peace as a compass. The actual UN is what's the nearest. Yes it was created by racist powers and "this" (the racism, the "power" control) is to reject but "that" (the globalization, the conscious of a whole) is to keep, in my mind.
