The UN put Iran in as the chair of the human rights council.
I agree - madness: however, sorry to inform you the UN's madness results from your delusional 'individual rights/individual sovereigtny' ideology which crippled the UN from its inception (including the UNSC veto).
So if not by bringing together individual, sovereign nations to form the United Nations - then how would you bring the world together?
By instituting examination in the UNGA of necessary UN reform, including the need to eliminate the UNSC veto.
How is that to be done?
By continuing the process already started in the UN:
"The "enormous influence of the veto power" has been cited as a cause of the UN's ineffectiveness in preventing and responding to genocide, violence, and human rights violations.[47] Various countries outside the permanent members, such as the Non-Aligned Movement and African Union, have proposed limitations on the veto power.[48] Reform of the veto power is often included in proposals for reforming the Security Council."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Security_Council_veto_power#:~:text... The resolution to create Israel AND an Arab state next to is was not vetoed.
Because the Arab world wasn't represented in the UNSC.
Quote:So what is the relevance of the veto power in the case of Israel and Hamarse?
The US alone has consistently vetoed resolutions condemning Israel, since 1967.
Quote:You are, as usual, barking up the wrong tree.
Refuted above.
There was NO security council role in the vote for the creation of TWO states.
The flaw in your argument is the UN failed to implement its Partiton Plan in full, and since 1967 the US has used its UNSC veto to prevent implementation of the Plan.
Quote:The Arabs simply did not accept to play by the rules, not then, not since.
The Muslims started the wars in 1948 and again in 1967 DESPITE the UN resolution to create the two states.
The UN Partition resolution was intended to create two states, not to let one side force its own way when the other side (naturally) objected to the partition of their land.
The UN patently failed to create the two states; Israel should
never have been recognized WITHOUT the creation of the Palestinian state as well.
Quote:The UN couldn't force anyone, it has never had the moral or military power to 'implement' anything,
Because your delusional "national sovereignty" ideology rendered the UN powerless to maintian the peace - by force when necessary; just as a police force within a nation has to maintain the peace by force, to avoid chaos.
Quote: regardless of security council veto. Only member states can implement UN resolutions, supply peace keepers or militarily enforce they will, supported or not by the UN.
Addressed above; the veto renders the UNSC incapable of maintaining peace between belligerents, whereas as a national police force CAN establish peace - by force - between warring criminal gangs within a nation.
Quote:The Muslims have not been acting in good faith because they have not accepted Israel's right to exist or the UN's jurisdiction to endorse the creation of two states. They want a Judenfrei Muslim middle East.
Correct (but see above, Israel should not have been recognized without recognition of the Palestinian state).
Quote: Your endless waffle about UNSC veto is totally irrelevant. You never once shown how it has ANY relevance to the creation of Israel in 1948, to the armistice in 1949 or to the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank by Egypt and Jordan.
Addressed and refuted above. Let me know when you are ready to establish effective international law, capable of over-riding anachronistic 'national sovereignty'.
