Should the U.N. be disbanded or just remove Kofi Annan?

Question

At least, the U.N. should be based in Iran.

Answer 1

The UN has been trying to "fix" its problems for over a decade. It can't and won't because corruption and incompetance is rampant and Annan is one of the main perpetrators. His son profited greatly from the Food-For-Oil scandal, as did many companies he has personal ties to.

Replace Anna and the career diplomats and there is a chance it can survive. If they stay in place you're asking the coyote to guard the hen house.

Look at the UN reform page, the menu on the left indicates they been trying and still can't fix it. Maybe talking about it and writing reports won't create a magical solution.

Answer 2

The UN is badly in need of reform.

It sat as observers on the Lebanon border and watched Hezbollah build their bunkers, stockpile arms and fire rockets. OK they were there as observers only, but nevertheless the UN did absolutely nothing about it. It could have raised the matter politically with governments or done it's favourite thing and talked to the world press. Either of those could have prevented the bloodshed. Instead it did nothing and just waited for the war to start. The UN then must bear a large responsibility itself for the carnage as it knew what was happening for six years and sat on it's hands and did nothing. There is as much blood on the UN and Annan's hands as on the Israelis and Hezbollah if not more so.

The UN agreed to supply a large force to patrol the border area of Lebanon and then cannot even put half the number agreed on the ground!

Kofi Annan is starting to worry people. He has been in the job a long time and looks tired. When the UN post in Lebanon was hit he rushed to put out a statement saying it was a deliberate strike by Israel. Who told him? What checks did he make? Did this statement not play into Hezbollahs hands and the critics of the UN. Did this not harm his ability to be regarded as independent, particularly as the statement appeared to have been made as an anti Israeli sentiment without the facts being checked! If rash statements like these are made by the leader of the UN without pause to check his facts then the whole organisation gets a bad name and starts to loose trust.

The Iraq war was really caused not by Americas desire to go to war but by the UNs vacillation.

The UN must immediately start the process of examining it's role in what happened, ask itself what it could have done better, (virtually everything) and then what it can do to ensure it learns the lessons and put in place procedures to ensure they work properly next time.

More than anything the main countries in the UN should now be examining anew for themselves what they expect from the UN, how and if it can be reformed and what can be done to restore some of it's lost credibility.

Sadly the immediate answer would appear to be that Kofi Annan having done a good job in the past is now a liability and needs urgently replacing.

Answer 3

Both. The U.N. is just a prefix for UNwilling, UNable & Kofi should actually be spelled coffee because that's what he & hos cronies ever do...

Look at the peacekeepers in Bosnia, they closed their eyes to the massacre & crimes going on right under their noses & some were even captured to be used as human shields against NATO air strikes

Answer 4

The U.S. should stop paying over 25% of the bill for the UN immediately. It seems like the UN's reason for being has become to enable criminal regimes to stay in power longer than would otherwise be the case. Take 90% of the money we blow up the UN's azz and put it into border security. The UN seems perfectly capable of supporting itself by ripping off everyone else.

Answer 5

First should band USA from the organization(U.N).Cause for USA it cannot work with freedom.it become useless, powerless.USA doesnt listen other countries suggetion.and want to be the leader whom nobody wants to obey rather just fear of its war-mentality.

eg. - When USA wanted to attack Iraq but U.N or Kofi Annan protected and given alternative solution but USA didnt listen and attacked, the result is more terrorist born, more unstability has been happened in the world politics and economics.More USA soldiers died, more and more innocent people dieing everyday in the Iraq.(But where is that bullshit Nuclear Weapon in Iraq?)
USA becoming wary-cuntry.

People are not thinking about U.N;
USA has eaten U.N.

UN should not be disbanded and kofi annan should stay as secretary general of UN.
