The United Nations officially marks its 75th anniversary on Monday. Criticized for achieving scant results on its main mission of ensuring global peace, the U.N. remains the one place that member nations can meet.

“It’s very unfortunate that it’s going to be a pretty gloomy celebration for the U.N,” said Richard Gowan, U.N. director for the Crisis Group, a Brussels-based think tank.

He said the declaration was weakened by U.S. opposition to strong language on climate change, and negotiations were delayed because the United Kingdom and others objected totrying to insert language into the document, a reference to Beijing’s now hallmark phrase “win-win” which was not included. “Although it was pretty minor, that captures the real question that has emerged over the U.N. in 2020, exacerbated by COVID, which is how is this organization going to navigate an era of“There is a real sense that China has taken advantage of the Trump administration’s relative disengagement from the U.N. to increase its influence here,” he told a media briefing.

According to the results, over one million people from all 193 U.N. member nations took part, including 50,000 people in 50 diverse countries who were part of a scientific poll. “People are thinking big — about transforming the global economy, accelerating the transition to zero carbon, ensuring universal health coverage, ending racial injustice and ensure that decision-making is more open and inclusive,” the U.N. chief said. “And people are also expressing an intense yearning for international cooperation and global solidarity - and rejecting go-it-alone nationalist approaches and divisive populist appeals.”“We face our own 1945 moment,” he said.

Perfect time for the 🇺🇸USA🇺🇸 to leave the UN! Happy Anniversary Mother🤬's!

Just a place to meet, no more

United Nations failed to deliver just like League of Nations.

After 75 years, can anyone name a few real accomplishments?

What does “turns at 75” mean? I’ve seen that headline used in other posts and it makes no sense to me.

Get the US out of the UN, then get the UN out of the United States👍🇺🇸

What a useless, toothless, spineless and corrupt organization. Wish it would fade into obscurity along with the WHO.

Shit have they seen midtown on the other side of where they are? Human violations right across the island..the UN HAS DONE NOTHING TO HOLD THE US ACCOUNTABLE FOR ITS MANY CRIMES...it’s a sham

A pathetically impotent organization.

Gonna laugh when MSNBC attempts to support NFAC as it tries to have the USA sanctioned & forced to pay reparations. Yes... NFAC leader literally said this. Also said he will take weapons from China & Russia, should they wish to provide them. Congratulations media and Americans

Two peace accords have been signed

ok

Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerer of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to Mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds...

😂 They’ve totally been bought out by China Corrupt Terorrists

Jack their Jaws and Plot Against the United States. That's why the DemoRat Party loves them.

In 1924, the International Conference of Emigration and Immigration in Rome maintained that “the necessity of obtaining passports should be abolished as soon as possible”

We have more wars and conflicts now than ever.

Useless and politicized organization.

The US should drop out of the UN.

Born to prevent war, UN at 75 faces deeply polarized worldThe United Nations was born out of the devastation of World War II to save succeeding generations from war. The global body commemorates its 75th anniversary at an inflection point in history. The world is increasingly polarized and faces a pandemic. Maybe hold China accountable for human rights violations and transparency in the pandemic origins of they want to be taken seriously? I am afraid to say that the UN and actually the EU, WTO, WHO too, were USA propaganda tools and neo-colonialist organisation to ensure the costly financial & military USA global hegemony:a Trojan Horse in the heart of sovereign countries! UN and EU have reached their last hours. Just a reminder: Trump's former EU Ambassador, Gordon Sondland, was once quoted as saying he was appointed to destroy the EU. That's not a joke.
