Will it serve to revitalise the UN if its HQ shifted everytime a new Secretary General is elected?

Question

UN Was described as "An endless debating Society" by US Sec of Defence. While America wants to 'impose' Democracy in several regions of the World, it retains Veto Power at the UN. Is it not correct to shift UN from US to a more "faithful" Country. Afterall we hold Olympics and the World Cup in different regions everytime. UN belongs to the World.

Answer 1

No. Too costly. A permanent location makes most sense. But you do bring up something worth considering. That is prime real estate! If the UN moved its headquarters to a place where bargains could be found -- say New Orleans and leased out the Manhattan property for a five star hotel, the income could support some UN operations. The recess appointment guy Bolton, filling in as an "ambassador" (ha) might enjoy NOLA.

Debate has many advantages over invasion and the shock and awe technique of submission. It's cheaper and so much safer. Had we allowed more debate and the completion of inspections, we could have saved 2500 American military lives, 20,000 serious injuries, as many as 80,000 Iraqi's, $425 billion, tipping the balance of power to the radical Shias, loosing prestige in the international community, and preserved the viability of our own military so weakened now.

That observation of the Secretary of Defense about the debating society may have been his wisest utterance yet. It does beat this one: "We know where the WMDs are -- they are in Tukret and they are north, south, east, and west of Baghdad."

Answer 2

That would make the UN even more ineffective than it already is. If UN wants to do some good they need to get off their collective asses and actually DO something about world problems.

Also it was based in the US since the US is the one who put forth the idea and setup the whole thing almost single-handedly

Answer 3

The cost of moving around that huge bureaucracy every time would outweigh the benefit. But a one-time move may not be a bad idea. Canada, Brazil, South Africa, India - why not!

Answer 4

I think the whole structure should be airlifted and moved about 500 miles to the East.

Answer 5

hiya loose truth seeker, it really is not only the unlawful warfare in Iraq! Daddy offered off the election for him in 2000. He omitted the warnings about 9-11, he allowed over a million,500 human beings to die in New Orleans even as he performed golfing and went to McCain's party. He tortured human beings, listened to our telephone calls, study our emails and omitted the structure! In 2004 he stole the election by die-formidable software for vote casting machines. There are different motives which include letting bin laden get away to Pakistan, authorizing the deregulation of the finical establishments and agencies. Taxing the middle classification into the adverse domicile even as giving his wealthy acquaintances huge tax breaks. and evidently sending thousands and thousands of jobs to India and china even as factories close down throughout u.s..

Answer 6

Dump the UN, they are totally useless, and in my opinion thieves

Answer 7

I say move it to France for reasons which should be self explanitory.

Answer 8

It is not cost effective to do it.
