Better a faulty UN than no UN at all.
Yes; but can we create a 'new, improved' UN, so we can avoid being forced to watch a million Palestinians starve to death, among other catastrophes?
The 'rot' began when the UN allowed the BIG BULLIES like Russia, China & USA to start throwing their weight around with more bias towards their own agenda.
In other words - the UN has become a 'power-play' entity and a strict equality regardless, was thrown out the window.
Once again, just like the League of Nations - the more Powerful Nations deemed it should be exploited towards them just because they were sitting at the top of the ladder.
A 'reward' system of capitalism in that the ones at the top get even more than those at the bottom.
Equality is dismantled.
The current U.N. is too far gone possibly to come back from having been corrupted in this very same way as the LON's.
The BIG BULLIES now have too much of an exploitive hold to their advantage to give it up under the current representation.
Of course, if the UN did come back from this and put the big players back in their boxes like everyone else - then it might come out better than before.
Personally, I think the Commonwealth Nations do better than the United Nations as a 'entity' and as France soon fails with Italy after and even Russia for the East. I see the prevailing Commonwealth getting better and stronger each time... so much so, even the USA finally wakes up to itself and joins as well.
The 'real' New World Order.
