Well that has always been the problem with the United Nations.

We want the UN to have teeth and authority when ruling against someone we don't like.

We don't want the UN to have teeth and authority when ruling against someone we do like.. or us for that matter.

Well one can't have it both ways. Either the UN is empowered to dictate to all sovereign nations (including the United States) or it is not empowered.

Since the United States will never allow the UN to supersede the sovereignty of the United States, it is doubtful that any other nation will allow this either.

Most people realize that the UN is a toothless organization. What many people don't realize is that the "Big 5" deliberately designed the UN to be a toothless organization when it was formed.
