The question of Greenland’s sovereignty has emerged as a critical flashpoint in international relations. As of early 2026, renewed pressure from the United States to acquire the territory—ranging from economic threats to the refusal to rule out military force—has created a diplomatic crisis within NATO and the United Nations.

To uphold the core principles of the UN Charter, the international community must take two decisive steps: first, a formal condemnation of any attempt by a foreign power to unilaterally annex or purchase Greenland; and second, a recommendation for Greenland’s full independence to finalize its long-standing journey toward self-determination.

The Iranian Crisis: A Mandate for Multilateral Action

The dawn of 2026 has found Iran at a critical crossroads. Since late December 2025, a wave of civil and political unrest has swept through all 31 provinces, ignited by a collapsing economy and record inflation, but rapidly evolving into a fundamental challenge to the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic. As security forces—including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)—deploy lethal force, the international community faces a familiar dilemma. However, the historical record suggests that the solution does not lie in the unilateral intervention of the United States. Instead, the current crisis presents a unique and necessary opportunity for the United Nations to assert its authority, enforce its Charter, and facilitate a transition from an autocratic theocracy to a productive, democratic socialist society.

The concept of global governance often oscillates between the practical need for cooperation and the philosophical desire for a unifying authority. To envision the United Nations (UN) as the world’s most powerful organization is to imagine a shift from a collection of competing interests to a singular, cohesive direction for humanity.

In this vision, the UN does not merely serve as a forum for debate, but as the ultimate arbiter of human progress.

The Reign of the “Giants”: A Case for a Unified World Authority

The current global landscape is a fractured mosaic of competing interests, where the concept of national sovereignty often serves as a shield for conflict, environmental degradation, and systemic inequality. To move beyond this era of perpetual friction, we must evolve. The transition toward a formal world government, facilitated through a reformed and empowered United Nations, is no longer a utopian dream—it is a pragmatic necessity for survival.

However, a government without the power to enforce its laws is merely a debating society. To truly secure global peace, the United Nations must command an independent military force of such overwhelming magnitude that they are recognized, in every corner of the globe, as “Giants“.

The following article examines the recent surge in American unilateralism under the second Trump administration and the growing argument for a global legal authority capable of restraining such actions.
