How will the Arabs recognize Israel? Last time I checked they are not democracies. You meant their monarchs recognizing Israel while their populations keep hating Israel with their mullahs claiming victory that they have defeated Zionists who are retreating. And keep spreading hatred, Who is stopping them? IMHO I think that is asking too much from Israel to give up their physical gains for some token gesture that they exist. Well guess what, they exist anyway.

It is wrong under International Law, Israel is showing double standards, while accusing Iran of violating the NPT it violates more international laws by building on annexed and land and so and so. For me this shows the futility of UN and other such organisations, they are just tools of foreign policy for the elite.

Monarchy or whatever form don’t matter if a government signs a treaty its binding to the next government as well.

British India signed a lot of treaties which still is respected by Republic of India.

How does that fit in with your idea of a UN governed by “democratic” rule?

My idea is a minimalistic UN, with no power of intervention.

How would that be democratic? Would you give Nauru (population <10000) the same vote as China or India? That gives each Nauru citizen over 100 thousand times the voting power of a Chinese or Indian citizen. And how is it democratic for non-elected governments to cast votes?

The UN could only be democratic if we had worldwide elections.

Each nation has one vote the nation’s population power etc. should not matter.

What form of government a nation has is no one else’s business.

There should be No UN then, if it wants to meddle in the affairs of soverign nations.

I am not against intervention per se, but do it saying am more powerful I can do it, don’t put the veil of fairness and international law on it.

Soverignity over rides any international law.

If that were the case since the UN’s beginning, how do you think problems in the Middle East would have worked out?

Or anywhere else for that matter.

UN is certainly good in some aspects my problem is with the elitist security council, which has the right to violate a nations soverignity arbitarily. And also stupid laws like NPT where by the powerful prevents the up and coming from having Nuclear weapons.

The NPT is the worst treaty in existence as it don’t make it mandatory for powers who already posess Nuclear Weapons to destroy them.

U.N should be democratic, Security council should be disbanded and every decision should be taken by a majority vote in the General Assembly.

Thats idealism however, in the current circumstance Israel holds all the cards and despite the rhetoric, and unless a solid assurance of protection by Russia (like it gave Egypt during the Suez crisis) I cannot see this ending well for Iran.

I am being proven right may be i have secret access to Russian decision makers.

The Brits use the aid to serve their own purpose, so do the other western nations, there are many NGOs in India ‘funded’ by foreign countries aid and other assistance programmes, who act as eyes and ears for the donor nation.

I wish they will stop their stupid ‘aid’ and shut up. Giving aid to win fighter competitions is akin to giving rice to change ones religion.
