UN surely is the only hope for global action as a community, acting under laws. But it's impotent when USA (which refuses International Court jurisdiction) ignores it or acts unilaterally (as in Iraq invasion - although Bush enlisted UN for support when in obvious trouble). This impotence, particularly over Palestine, Rwanda, etc, coupled to regular denigration by US, according to outgoing UN Sec-Gen Kofi Annan, is now threatening future of UN. Similar unilateral white-anting destroyed League of Nations pre World War 11. Do we have to rebuild a UN without a Security Council and the veto hangover ... and how ... or is only global anarchy possible?
