What about UNICEF?
Private charities that have far less fanfare do far more. I am sure some private group could put together something better

Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
WOW! Sure made China stand up and take notice eh?

Peacekeeping in Cyprus?
You mean the one that Canada pulled out of?

The 16 current Peacekeeping operations they're involved in?
Like the Balkans? How about Rwanda? Did a bang-up job there!!

The UN has done some really good things. No doubt about it. But can you really sit there and say that in the last decade and a bit since the fall of the Soviet Union that it has been anything BUT helpful?

64 billion dollars: single most largest relief effort was an exercise in outright graf

Bloodbaths which they sat on the sideline:
Rwanda
Iraq
Balkans
Sudan

Yes you said it in the other thread. The UN runs according to it's members. And that is why it is broken. Too many tinpot dictators, Communist controlled countries and an unaccountable bureaucracy too willing to fill their pockets at the expense of the downtroddenthey are suppose to help.

Can you name ANY country that the UN has helped bring to it's feet?
