Yes. UN has already diminished it value by corporate complacency, corruption, ineptitude, and waste.
UN employees are over paid bureaucrats.
So much money is wasted on dining and expensive travels, overated employees, suspected purchasing corruption, lavish expense claims, poor planning, lack of leadership, etc that it is no longer effective as an institution or instrument for world order and peace.

It is merely a forum for countries to posture their vile language and theology onto others.

UN is unable to stop terrorists' activities anywhere.
UN is unable to stop the spread of human trafficking.
UN is unable to stop the potential for an epidemic or pandemic disease.
UN is unable to stop even the smallest of wars in African countries.
UN is unable to manage its own budget, spending more than it receives.
UN has been castrated.
Many of the leaders have little faith in UN's ability to meet it's original mission of world order and peace.

Yes - UN has fallen.

No. First of all, the Roman Empire was an empire, the ruling body and conqueror of those who opposed, or didn't conform to their rule. The U.N. is a voluntary organization. The Roman Empire sought to impose their will upon other through force, rather than what the U.N. does as a peacekeeper and suggestive force that uses it's aids and countries to get rogue states and peoples to see their errors and change their ways.

A more appropriate and aligning question would be "Will the U.S. fall like the Roman Empire?" In such ways as the U.S. uses force and invasion to impose their will on peoples and nations, much like the Romans did, to get their way.

Actually the U.N. is more likely to fall the League of Nations did. The Leauge didn't have the U.S. in it, so it had no real military power. Now that the U.S. and Britain are pretty much having very little to do with the U.N. right now they have even less military power than they did before. If this continues then it will surely fall.

No; but the United States might. Since, we're more of an empire than the U.N. is.

The U.N. doesn't actually "rule" over anyone. It's a convention of leaders from different countries that don't form an empire. No comparison there.

The UN, in order to work, has to stop being a mediating party, and start becoming a GOVERNING one with countless checks and balances so that there is no chance of any one person trying to dominate the world).

Every representative in UN would become a world legislator and country leaders would have to look up to them to enforce international laws.

While each country would still remain a sovreign one, they would have to relinquish some power in order to maintain WORLD ORDER.

No. The U.N. isn't a nation or an empire.

America is more like the roman empire and the similiar decline is remarkable.

It can't. Because it is not one entity like the Roman empire.

Your question betrays a profound lack of understanding of the United Nations, what it is and how it works.
