UN Irrelevance
Nice to see that someone other than me realizes that the United Nations is irrelevant. It is also nice to see someone in the UN saying as much at the UN. This someone is John Bolton.
From Bloomberg:
Dec. 1 (Bloomberg) — U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said the United Nations General Assembly demonstrated its irrelevance today by adopting six resolutions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including non-binding calls for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank and Golan Heights.
The General Assembly, consisting of all 191 member governments, passed resolutions very similar to measures introduced annually by Arab nations for at least 30 years. The U.S. was joined by no more than seven other nations in rejecting the resolutions, which won up to 160 votes.
“These resolutions are purely symbolic,” Bolton told reporters at the UN. “It is one reason why many people say the UN is not really useful in solving actual problems. We have been making enormous progress toward solutions in the Arab-Israeli conflict, and that progress has benefited from UN participation, but it does not benefit from needless repetition of meaningless resolutions in the General Assembly.”
The only folks that think the UN serves any purpose at all are of course the left. Makes since, the UN is made up of the left and they both have become laughing stocks and irrelevant as far as I am concerned.
