The UN and its UNESCO Failing to Meet Modern Challenges


              UN, pull your finger out.            

The UN is incapable of preventing aggressors like Vladimir Putin from invading other countries, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed, as he made an impassioned call for reform of the General Assembly and Security Council to end Russia’s war on his country [...] as he addressed the UN Security Council in New York for the first time since Moscow’s invasion of his country.
There is no question that he is absolutely right. In its current form, the UN is not only no longer fit for purpose, but it has not been for a long time. The same goes for its documents such as the 1970 UNESCO Convention that refers to the situating on the antiquities market of the 1960s and 1970s and no longer are applicable to that of the 2020s. The world does not stand still, but the UN seems to think that it can ignore that fact.

  1. My dear chap, how nice to once again make your acquaintance. I am still intrigued by how you can squat there in your comfy Polish sinecure and not produce evidence that would justify the money spent by the British Government in producing your blog!!! And nothing more !! You are an embarrassment, not only to me, but to all others, who hold tolerance and truth to be paramount. There is a piece of mistletoe hanging from the back of my carefully tailored jacket...
