Why the UN doesn't work

Even if it weren't corrupt, the ability of the UN to solve international problems is non-existent. Iran gets backing from China. Economic interests win every time, and that means the UN can't solve any issue.


“There is no reason to send the issue to the Security Council,” Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing said in a press conference with his Iranian counterpart, Kamal Kharazi.

“It would only make the issue more complicated and difficult to work out,” Li said, contradicting Washington by saying “the Iranian government is having a very positive attitude in its cooperation” with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
