80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.

The good?
Eight decades without World War III.

Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.

But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.

80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again.

@EUCommission
8 decades without world war iii
8 decades of unchecked power concentrated in the hands of 5 rogue states
6 decades of treating taiwan as a second-class citizen, laying the path to invasion
8 decades of an unenforceable concept of human rights based on compromise, and 5 decades of its binding version which allowed each country to choose which human rights it doesn't believe in
8 decades of writing reports that no one reads, about problems no one wants to solve

it's still better than nothing, and most of those (though not all) were compromises they had to make to prevent the un from falling apart. but it's very very far from a room where each of the 8 billion people gets a seat. and preventing wwiii by giving the people who have the power to start it so much undeserved economic and political power that war is no longer in their best interest, is a questionable decision at best.
