Useless organization

I hope the aftermath of this genocide and coming regional war finally destroys the credibility of such a garbage committee.

No one should take the UN or its affiliate branches seriously. No one should honor those predatory loans they give to the global south.

Lebanese civilians are throwing rocks at the UNFIL troops stationed in Beirut. May the UN finally face its own music or face its own demise.

Good. No reason for those predators to be given any kind of legitimacy in the global south's eyes.

At the very least this shows that overall the majority of representatives of countries still can make decent decisions. Even if the UN is mostly toothless.
