🌍 A Call for True Authority: Reimagining the Power of the United Nations
The United Nations, established in the crucible of world war, was founded on a noble vision: to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war. Yet, today, the daily news is a tragic ledger of conflicts, humanitarian crises, and gross violations of human rights that the organization seems perpetually under-equipped to resolve. The current structure, which relies heavily on the political will and resources of sovereign member states, has proven fundamentally inadequate to fulfill its mandate of maintaining international peace and security. To move beyond a deliberative forum and become a decisive force for global stability, the UN requires an unprecedented, radical endowment of real authority: its own standing military, an independent nuclear deterrent, and the power to impose a global income tax.
