Thanks, give me a minute to go through it.
Yeah, the General Assembly is a drama fest. There is no reason for it to hold power. The UN collaborates with the IMF and the World Bank as it stands now.
It represents centralized power. Better to totally remove it from existence.
ITs not exactly like you can call the UN, or show up at the local office to ask the guy who made the decision what he was freakin thinkin.
What should it be replaced with? What about the useful aspects, such as UNICEF?
Not saying UNICEF isnt good, but could it still happen without the UN?
Could nations still work together without creating their special little club that is eventually abused to all hell?
Why nations?
Good point.
Is there such a thing as a global Occupy assembly?
Why does it need to be replaced with anything?
What are the good things that the world has accomplished with UNICEF?
Here's an example:
