The UN, no longer needed.  Sure, move the one or two orgs inside that actually do good, but time to toss the rest of this parade of bigots into the dustbin of history.

sure, and if they went through all the countries that don't gas their own people maybe it would be their turn.  But maybe you  have a point.  The Norks were in charge in 2011 and Iran in 2013.....seems to be more proof of my greater point though, get rid of the UN, it has no idea what it's doing.

How would eliminating such international forums help anything? For example Non-Proliferation Treaty includes all kinds of unsavoury states but I still think it was good that it was made.

The UN is imperfect, but necessary. A lot of the grief it gets are from people who clearly have a grudge against the concept of internationalism and are fully devoted to identity politics; so advance bad faith arguments that contradict each other, normally rebuking the organisation for being both too powerful and too weak.
