A pathetic international organization that focuses more on preventing Max Barry from using their name in NationStates than stopping genocides, civil wars, and conflicts. The concept of it sounds great on paper, just like communism and a War on Drugs, but like those two things, they don't work IRL. They seriously need to step up their game and actually unite the world. At most, they send food to countries and maybe build a few buildings there, which is just slapping a band-aid on a guy who just lost their arms. They need to get peacekeepers in there and turn the country into Utopia by giving them the stuff needed to grow food.
Reporter: How successful was the United Nations at stopping the genocide against your people?
Victim: They stood there while my kids were being shot by insurgents. The United Nations is a pathetic, useless organization.

A good idea, but somewhat naive and inefficient. Like marriage and Communism, it looks good on paper but often fails in practice.
Formed shortly after the second World War, the idea was to bring representatives of numerous nations together in hope of discussing and peacefully solving whatever conflicts or disputes arose. They have done good in areas of Africa for example, but on the large scale it just doesn't work. Each nation is far too preoccupied with self interest to prevent any large treaties or organizations from being set up or enforced. Perhaps the most visible example of failure would be the recent Iraqi crisis.

Some think that if they had stronger centralized authority then things could improve, but it's hard to know.

A group of nations whose purpose is increasingly irrelevant; whose widespread corruption is now coming to light.
The corruption of the United Nations is growing unchecked. Can't wait 'till Annan tries to explain the "Oil-for-Food" program.
