@TryingtoLava Do you consider it a success?
@Unlearn ofc it is its a counsel of countries that come together to discuss crisis and protect each other
@MarineBob I remember carrying those stupid boxes during halloween in the late 70's, not one single candy giver gave even a dime, some of them slamming the door in our faces by merely having a box. I remember seeing a lot of them thrown on the ground all over the place, I think we only did it one year.
My feeling is it is like a club. Started with Nobel intentions and as time passed, it’s members left and were replaced, and what once was, no longer fits the old scenarios and responses the club was built on. My feeling is also this is the case with the U.N. and it has lost its initial core values and overall is failing.

Based on it's stated goals, I think it's a failure.
--to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and
--to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and
--to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and
--to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

It is extremely successful in its failures.
It never was even designed to do much. Hence the opposing veto powers.
It could have been designed by percentage of what you put in that would be a percentage of the vote and be better than what it currently is.
That would be a purely capitalist approach. And I despise capitalism.
At least capitalism is a little bit functional, if unfair.

Generally speaking, i’d say they’ve been successful. I don’t think it’s realistic to expect so many countries with varied cultures and interests to play nice-nice and always be on the same page. They’re doing all right.

In limbo (progress) but id say more failure than success. Brainwashing itself with post ww2 idea(l)s; and education standards are, in general, lacking.

It was successful in the beginning. Now it has lost its acceptance. It is exist for namesake.
