disclaimer *Shamelessly stolen from another board*
Ok people--your mission, if you choose to do so, is quite simple.

You are hereby given ultimate and final authority over revamping the U.N. What do you do to fix it?

And, yes, you can say 'Scrap it completely' if you so wish, but I'm sort of hoping to have something resembling workable ideas before we pull the plug on the life support machine when the nurse ducks out for a cigarette, mmmkay?.....
BTW
my i dea is to give the UN a large/larger* standing army independant of any nation and be able to use it without interferance and under direct control of the UN also power to embargo nations that violate treaties and having a free trade zone between nations would work also no permanet security counsil seats in other words you
have to be approved by the UN
I know this might come off as a bit facists but thats just me

Problem:

Where would you house the army? How would you pay for it?

Not to many countries are going to allow Foreign troops.

What of the soldiers themselves? Will americans fire on americans? French? German?

Sounds nice but doubt it would work.

How about overriding vetos? It would allow for the UN to go it alone if it felt the US would going to block something....
