The UN is useless when it comes to stopping a genocide. If it were the Nazi times they would be delaying that too.

Also, they're talking about the security council but not mentioning the corrupt rules that allow for a single veto. Get rid of that shit you aholes!

As for North Korea, I'm laughing at how sanctions are being bypassed. Sanctions are an act of war. North Korea may be a problem but when did they attack anyone? Oh but it's ok for Saudi Arabia and Israel to commit genocides against their neighbors.... Double standards are the Hallmark of sociopaths and the sycophants that support them.

The Pact does have language suggesting that there's an intention to get rid of the Security Council veto or limit the circumstances in which it can be used. Of the 58 vetoes exercised since 1997, China and/or Russia exercised 38 of them (https://research.un.org/en/docs/sc/quick), so it's interesting that the Pact is backed by China and Russia (apparently).

North Korea do have a long track record of cyber attacks, which I suppose count for something in a computerised world, and, from a certain perspective, one could say that they have been attacking their own people for decades.

The UN failed miserably in Rwanda and the Balkans in the 1990s, contributed to a cholera outbreak in Haiti, and have been failing the Rohingya of Myanmar, the Uyghur people in Xinjiang, the Tibetans, the Syrians, and the victims of the violence in Sudan for years or in some cases decades as well. Not overall a portrait of an institution one would rely on to assume more power and influence, given the (mis)use of its resources to date.

Beware every alphabet agency! They only have ill intent for us useless eaters, as blatantly obvious in the nonexistent rescue and supply efforts for victims of Helene. It’s all about the Lithium and Quartz in NC via massive land grab and eliminating the victims any ability to vote.
