Expelling the US from the United Nations | Shahid Bolsen

America's impunity has to end. It's gone on for way too long. The United States has made a complete, malicious mockery of even the concept of international law, of human rights, of peace, stability and security. It's a country that acts in the world like a serial killer. Everywhere they go, they leave bodies. 
 
  The US sabotaging the UN Security Council once again:
US Ambassador Alternate Representative of the US for Special Political Affairs in the United Nations Robert A. Wood vetoing a United Nations Security Council resolution on ceasefire in Gaza, at UN headquarters in New York on December 8, 2023.

Everything they touch, they break. Why the US should be in the United Nations? It's an insult to the whole planet to have America sitting in the UN, much less sitting on the Security Council. The US is the greatest threat to global security and they dominate the Security Council. It's time for the United Nations to invoke Article 6 and expel the US. We all know that the United States has never treated the UN as if they're just a member. The United Nations, as long as the US is in there, is just like a meeting room where all of the countries in the world go to get their orders from the boss. They even make a mockery of the name United Nations because it doesn't matter how united the nations of the world may be. They've been united for the last 50 years on the issue of Palestine and it didn't matter. The US will overrule them every time. The United Nations is just a platform for American exceptionalism and rejectionism. 
 
United Nations Charter, Article 6:
» A Member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the Principles contained in the present Charter 
may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. «
 
As long as the United Nations allows this and does not invoke Article 6 and expel the United States, every country in the world is just participating in some sort of ritual humiliation and doing nothing but offer tribute to the very country that consistently and insistently does all of the crimes that the UN was created supposedly to prevent from being done. It's like a court where the criminal who's supposed to be on trial sits in the judge's bench. It offends every principle that the United Nations claims to stand for. It's not like they don't have the protocols. They have the protocols and they have the mechanisms to do something about it and to put it to an end. And that's exactly what they need to do and they need to do it now. This is the only way to end this terrible cycle of violence once and for all.

 

 Incomplete statistics showed that from the end of World War II to 2001, among the 248 armed conflicts
that occurred in 153 regions of the world, 201 were initiated by the United States.
