Yes, we really need an alternative to the UN, because unfortunately it cannot be reformed due to the veto system and the fact that the most powerful countries have permanent seats on the Security Council.
So what is needed is a new international organization that addresses the fact that the UN has, in fact, long been under the unilateral influence of the US in particular - the fact that Israel, for example, gets away with outright genocide with complete impunity, unfortunately makes all too clear how absurd it is that a single, admittedly very powerful country can prevent any efforts to enforce what is, in fact, the central task of the international community.
Maybe we could call it something like League of Nations?
Joke aside, any nation considering itself a world power would insist of veto power (or similar power tool). I think a way forward is alliances such as eu or even smaller such as the Nordic Council to safe guard against international strong man bullying. Personally I dont think the world can cooperate with rule of law rather than might makes right, but I would love to be proven wrong

So yes, I agree: We need a second, better UN.
