Frank - That verbose post is your personal take on the UN Charter, going over where you think it is "reasonable" and where you think it is not. Meanwhile you reach some strange conclusions like "So the UN declared itself the world's policeman" and conclude that "The UN will die - deservedly...". Excuse me if I could not bring myself to reply to all that. However, since it seems you will not give up without an answer and will repost your post #57803 at any topic that vaguely reminds you of the UN, I probably have to be the one to tell you that you are in no position to judge the UN Charter. You are not a lawyer. You are not a scholar of international affairs. Your take on the UN Charter is a layman's understanding of a multinational agreement. Message 18164672 The UN Charter is the fundamental document governing the use of force in international relations. In essence it makes the threat or use of force to settle international disputes impermissible. See especially Arts. 2(3) and 2(4). The overriding principle of the UN Charter is the preservation of international peace and security. The use of force is a bad thing and ONLY the Security Council has power to use it under Chapter VII.
