Power of the UN

Die letzte Utopie

Has anyone noticed that EVERY UN proposal passes....no joke, check the history of UN proposals, there has yet to be one that hasn't passed (most by a few thousand votes), no matter how ridiculous the proposal, it passes. The closest one in history was the legalization of euthanasia, it passed by just over 800 votes. This raises a dangerous question....is the UN too powerful?

Yes. The UN is taking control of our nations. I was just about to ask this question myself.

The UN is becoming a government. It's power needs to start being limited.

The UN is hardly powerful at all. Many nations simply choose to ignore. The reason all the proposals listed have passed is because they only list the ones that have passed. (This is a puppet nation I'm playing with, in my actual nation I am a UN member. I do know what I'm talking about.)
