UN was created as a result of WWII. It is participated in by nations as a means of diplomacy. It’s sole purpose is to prevent the outbreak of global war, and nothing else. The actions in Libya, which did not condone invasion or occupation, were to prevent unnecessary casualties in the region.
It’s sole purpose is to prevent the outbreak of global war
The UN proceeded to recognize the puppet South Korean government (there was literally only 1 ballet presented, if you wanted to vote against the US-chosen candidate, you had to ask the US guards for the other ballet) as the government of all of Korea, and ignore the massacres it was carrying out, essentially creating a situation where either the USSR and China had to accept the US conquering their neighbor or go to war with the US. That’s the closest we’ve been to actual global war, having half the planet on opposing sides of a war again. The UN has mostly been a tool for American soft power.
The actions in Libya, which did not condone invasion or occupation, were to prevent unnecessary casualties in the region.
Libya went from the highest Human Development Index in Africa to open air slave markets. The actions in Libya caused hundreds of thousands of unnecessary casualties and displaced millions.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the UN’s stated mission, but we have look at its actual actions. In practice, it does nothing to constrain the biggest threat to world peace, America, while it does constrain anyone who tries to stand up to us.
Do you think bombing Libya was the anti-war position? When the UN supports it, the UN has adopted a pro-war position.
