Please..resign from un and do us all a favor. Just pay your debts first. After that usa can go and do whatever it likes as long it doesnīt whine the un or other nations to come and clean up their mess like in kosovo. And donīt you dare to hand the iraq mess to un, itīs your mess so itīs yours to deal with.

did someone question the structure of the UN? i'm not sure i get the point, folks are wanting to defund the UN, not restructure it.

I was pointing out the fact that the UN is a multifaceted institution; the security council may have made a 'blooper', but that does not denote to it's entire body being corrupt.

I didn't know that the U.S. had *resumed* its payments in the first place... if the UN has had difficulty conducting peacekeeping missions over the past years, it's in good part because America doesn't honor its obligations as a member. And after that they want to justify not paying because they want the UN to be accountable, while America, of course, is accountable to no one.
