Fortunately, those reasons also make such a thing unlikely. Too much of the world is mired in despotism and archaic social tensions to want to be subject to global majority rule. The UN has been a hot bed of bureaucratic abuse and socialist ideology, under the "North- South" slogan, and we do not need that sort of exploitation. It has also been fairly ineffectual as a peacekeeping organization, except when a truce has been brokered and needs light policing. Otherwise, the United States and NATO do the heavy lifting. Why, then, kowtow to it?
