For the U.N. to work would require that institution to recognize the basic principles of human freedom and individual rights that were the Constitutional underpinnings of the United States.
When I was a kid, I thought the idea of having all the countries gathered under one united authority like the states were gathered by the Constitution into the United States was a pretty good idea. I didn't know much back then.
Nowadays, almost anyone promoting "One World" is promoting not some federation of free nations, but some kind of totalitarian socialist fantasy. The underpinnings they are looking at are not individual rights, but Marxism. Unfortunately, this includes most of the U.N., which routinely acts as though free nations and totalitarian hells are morally equivalent. The totalitarians have taken great advantage of this to strut on a stage where they can pretend they are legitimate leaders and not slaveholders.
The mere fact that a nation like Libya can be put on a human rights committee shows that they are off the rails. Until this changes, I see no reason to support them. And the fact that there are some small portions doing good work there doesn't change that.
