Yes, dismantle it:
No, keep it:
- The U.N. structure is over-administrated, expensive and ineffective.
- Despite all the talk of international harmony, what matters is how the policies work where the rubber hits the road. Is the world a safer place now than years ago? No way.
- Veto powers of the permanent members of the Security Council effectively squash anything that is not in their best interests.
No, keep it:
- The international moderating influence of the U.N., despite obvious flaws, provides an outlet for the resolution of conflict;
- Under the auspices of the U.N. are organizations like UNICEF, UNESCO and others, that do excellent work but simply don't make the papers very often. Dismantling the U.N. would mean the end of those very good programs;
- The U.N. provides a forum of safety for countries to meet and discuss issues ranging from conflict, poverty, science and other visionary ideas.
