"The United Nations is a terrible organization" thread

[GoldRanger]

I want to dedicate this thread to the corruption, hypocrisy, petty politicking, bullying, incompetence and agenda-peddling of our one and only wannabe-world-government, the magnificent United Nations, beacon of (un)hope for all mankind.

Whether exhaustive articles or theses, or just some unflattering images, anecdotal tales and even memes, every kind of anti-UN material is welcome here.

I'll start us off with this magnificent tweet from Tel-Aviv, Israel, showing us how the heroes of the UN help uphold the fragile peace in this war-torn region of the globe.

Edit: It's certainly a fake video (the UN writing disappears at the end), you can consider it a meme then.

Edit 2: There are now news articles about it, and the UN spokesman said that he's "shocked" at the video.

So not so clear that it's fake anymore.

Edit 3: Twitter removed the video. In the video you could see a UN van with what looks like a woman in a red dress riding the crotch of a man sitting at the back, having sex with him as the van drives through the street.

Edit 4: Here's another tweet with thd video, for your viewing pleasure.

Remember when the UN proposed something called the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, insisting it was a “way to prevent human trafficking, curbing the solicitation of child prostitution, and reducing the spread of child pornography and underage exploitation"? Except the wording was so vague, and so ripe for abuse, that multiple countries rejected it?

Or how about the time where they tried to ban video games and animation in Japan that depict sexual violence towards women? Which the Japanese wing of the Women’s Institute Of Contemporary Media Culture thoroughly condemned?

All in all, the UN has had a lot to say about fictional depictions of abuse; but strangely, not so much about the actual abuse conducted by their own people. Oh they'll condemn it when it's exposed, and punish a few scapegoats, but they won't do anything to prevent it from happening again; evidenced by the fact that this has been going on for decades.

UN peacekeepers have been known to demand sex with children in exchange for food.

As well as engage in rape and looting.

Obviously this isn't something the UN likes people to be reminded of.

To be fair the UN isn't the one providing the troops for said operations and ever since the Black Hawk down incident in Somalia and Belgian peacekeepers being butchered in Rwanda no first world nation really provides troops for UN peacekeeping anymore

I've commented before on how terrible the UNRWA is. Essentially the hidden "third side" in the Israel/Palestine conflict, they've been edging on and increasing the violence for decades. They've redefined "refugee" so that everybody descended from a male who was displaced during the 1948 war is a refugee, and the status in inheritable (and applies to foster children). They remain a refugee under the UNRWA's definition even if they settled down and obtain citizenship and property in another nation. There were about 750,000 people who became refugees in 1948, almost all of whom immediately settled in Jordan or became Israeli citizens. Around 20,000 are still alive today, but due to the UNRWA's redefinitions and pushing for more refugees, there are over five million total "refugees." This includes 2 million "refugees" who have full Jordanian citizenship and have been living there for decades (their children will continue to be counted as refugees).

UNRWA schools house and fire missiles at Israel. UNRWA teachers have been shown repeatedly and often to teach children racism and hatred and to encourage martyrdom and violence. Their chosen textbooks are selected to encourage warfare and indoctrinate Palestinian children into believing that peace with Israel is impossible. Their structure is known to promote graft and corruption and Hamas members are promoted to high positions in the UNRWA. They're very big on the Palestinian's right to protest right up until they're the ones at risk from it. Then they flee to Israel.

Effectively, the UNRWA continues to promote the conflict between Israel and Palestine so that they can continue to collect their sweet, sweet funding checks. While other UN agencies like the UNHCR resettle refugees, the UNRWA not only does not but continues to act against refugees resettling themselves. I suspect the entire miserable Israel/Palestine conflict would have burned itself out long ago if the UNRWA wasn't doing it's best to fan the flames at every chance they got.

The UN is an international forum, and like all forums it consists of a handful of people who actually matter and a horde of failures who are bitter that they aren't in that top twenty club. So they spend their days shitposting and baiting the people who have real jobs.

You forgot the Cholera outbreak that was released in Haiti when infected Nepali peacekeepers were sent there. I remember Al Jazeera actually broke the story and the UN was in full denial and deflection mode until they couldn't hide it anymore.

UN admits role in deadly Haiti cholera outbreak

World body stops short of saying it caused the epidemic, but acknowledges role in crisis that has killed nearly 10,000.

I can tell this thread is going to be a hoot.

The United Nations should be a organization dedicated to serve as a diplomatic corps for the nations of the world to have smooth and fast deals through a single channel instead of multiple. A place for them to get together to agree to some universal ideas and laws.

Instead they wanna be a One World Government, are completely filled with all sorts of thinly veiled Marxist ideologues and professional bureaucrats. Whenever something actually important comes up they should solve comes up (Genocides, Crisis, Plague) they always fuck it up and it's left to those same national institutions the UN is supposed to be above to fix the problem.

The UN Security Council performs its job of avoiding WW3 fairly well all things considered. The rest of the body is a filthy, piss-stained ball pit the Security Council lets everyone else play in to feel important. As long as you remember that the US literally pays for everything the institution starts to make a little more sense.

Not really, often times it comes down to the US playing chicken with the reds, until both sides agree to calm down. The UN really hasn’t been useful.

Yeah I'd agree in that part. It is good to actually have a forum where almost every nation in the world can talk to each other to some degree. Plus there are some bits of the United Nations that are good I'm sure. It's a massive organization.

Like the World Food Programme has serious criticisms because of the strict local government controls on its food distribution and the like, but it still does provide food security for millions of the impoverished.

They've got some agricultural research branches running around that I've heard good thing about. Granted, those reccomendations may have been from something that happened decades ago, but a lot of the rot goes so deep that it seems likely that if they were somehow still pure back then they may have stayed that way. The greater UN doesn't care enough about some small group countering crop diseases and spreading high-yield GMOs, it's not sexy enough to corrupt.

what the hell is it with UN peacekeepers and necrofilia?

I'm not shitposting I'm serious. I live around a lot of Haitian and African expats and thats like the default criticism they all agree on with the UN.

And I remember a bunch lf them being detained in Miami over it.

Fuck man...

Funny story too but a long time friend of mine is a relative of Narcissee

Im almost scared to ask...

Essentially, the UN Peacekeepers have had..since at least the 70's a reputation of being literal corpse fuckers and Jimmy Saville style Necrophilic pedophiles. Some of the allegations are almost cartoonish in their scope...But the Haitian Community in Miami insists that they not only ran trains on Haitian boys and girls, but also engaged in corpse fucking on a truly industrial scale. And I do mean industrial, one report I remember reading had several city blocks of Port Au Prince looking like something out of a Go Nagai manga.

They're not alone, Eastern Europeans and Africans make the same claims and a lot of the lawyers who litigate on their behalf end up having accidents and shit.

It's one of the darker accusations levied against the UN. One that's fairly consistent. And while I do take it with a bit of a grain of salt, you don't get internal memos from the UN and Lecture videos on skull fucking..if they themselves don't take it seriously.

Somethings pretty rotten up there in New York man....Pun..not intended..eww

Haiti, the country where a certain family's foundation is supposedly involved in questionable activities according to "conspiracy theories"?
Really makes you think.

I mean..one of the witnesses against Clinton during the email fiasco, who shot himself 9 times and then shoved himself in the trunk of his own car then drove himself all the way to the Everglades from a hotel in Brickell to drown himself in a gator's nest, also claimed Bill knew about the corpse fucking and that some of his close..associates..partook.

Whether or not that's true..I can't say.

I can say, Haitian zombies must be real, if the dude could kill himself, then feed himself to Gators.
