About this ebook
In this Broadside, Claudia Rosett explains why the U.N.’s basic design means it cannot really be reformed and why it is becoming ever more urgent to seek alternatives. Rosett argues that it’s time to break the taboo, and to bring fully into America’s foreign policy debates the question of how to dispense with the U.N. altogether.

What to Do About the U.N. - Claudia Rosett
ENCOUNTER BROADSIDES
Inaugurated in the fall of 2009, Encounter Broadsides are a series of timely pamphlets and e-books from Encounter Books. Uniting an 1 8 th century sense of public urgency and rhetorical wit (think The Federalist Papers, Common Sense) with 21st century technology and channels of distribution, Encounter Broadsides offer indispensable ammunition for intelligent debate on the critical issues of our time. Written with passion by some of our most authoritative authors, Encounter Broadsides make the case for ordered liberty and the institutions of democratic capitalism at a time when they are under siege from the resurgence of collectivist sentiment. Read them in a sitting and come away knowing the best we can hope for and the worst we must fear.

WHEN P RESIDENT B ARACK O BAMA during his final weeks in office abandoned Israel to the edicts of the United Nations Security Council, he touched off a furor about the failings of the U.N. itself. The 15-member council, tasked with securing peace for the world, stood exposed as a collection of bigots and hypocrites bent on punishing the only democracy in the Middle East. This has inspired renewed calls from Congress and the American public to reform the U.N., defund the U.N., withdraw from the U.N. – calls for something salutary to be done.
The advent of a new administration opens the door to a broader and urgently needed debate over how, precisely, America in our time should deal with the U.N. Created in 1945 by the victors of World War II with a charter mission to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war,
the U.N. has evolved into an organization notorious not only for its waste but also for its abuse, fraud, bigotry, mendacity, and predilection for actions (or choreographed inactions) that make war more likely, not less.
The need for remedies goes way beyond the need to defang the Security Council’s Resolution 2334 savaging Israel, a resolution that is both damaging and disingenuous. In the name of peace, and in the guise of condemning settlements, this resolution invites the
