Oryx,
The new revised UN model would certainly define that.
All UN failures were due to its current model. Humanity is intelligent enough to come up with a more fare, efficient role in combating human sufferance provoked by humans.
We are certainly not the ones to define that UN here, but many of you have given some hints. Brit has suggested more efficient UN agencies and you pinpointed other good ideas.
I am quite positive if a commission is established to review UN’s current role in the world, something new will come out and hopefully something more meaningful than what the world has today.
I see no need to close our eyes to the hope of better models, assuming that what we have today is the absolute only possibility.
We obviously need a global paradigm change, to allow the UN to dare to go where they haven’t been before.
