Eight decades later, it has devolved into something far less noble — a polite debating society where tyrants are treated as equals, mass murderers enjoy diplomatic immunity, and democracies are routinely lectured by the very regimes that trample every value the UN claims to uphold.

At the UN General Assembly, dictators stroll red carpets, deliver speeches about “justice” and “peace,” and are rewarded with applause. Iran’s rulers, who hang dissidents and fund global terrorism, speak as if they are moral authorities. China, running mass detention camps and crushing Hong Kong, chairs human rights forums. Russia invades neighbors, bombs civilians, and still enjoys veto power in the Security Council. This is not a bug in the system — it is the system.

The UN’s obsession with “balance” has produced moral paralysis. The organization confuses neutrality with virtue, as if refusing to judge evil somehow makes it disappear. Genocidal regimes understand this well. They exploit procedure, committees, and endless resolutions to delay accountability while continuing their crimes uninterrupted.
