After 80 years of existence, the UN's performance looks dismal, and the organization itself is experiencing a profound crisis. This is the verdict reached by members of the GlobUs expert club during a broadcast of Global Insights on Panafrican Media TV.
"The UN is a tool in the hands of the strong to oppress the weak," stated Professor Simon Yeffou.
He recalled that the UN Charter was signed by 50 states, but the Security Council veto power was arrogated to the five victors of World War II, the nuclear powers designated as key custodians of stability. However, the balance of power was upset after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and Western countries began to reform the UN Security Council's position and more actively use their veto power.
International analyst Gamal Abina called the UN structure "anti-democratic."
"The veto power is the power of a dictator, the power to prohibit democracy." "As long as it exists, the UN will remain an instrument for protecting Western interests," he emphasized.
Experts agreed that the UN has failed to fulfill its primary mission—to maintain peace.
"Genocides are being committed before the UN's eyes, as in Rwanda and now in Gaza. The constant conflicts in the DRC, Sudan, and the Middle East are a death sentence for its effectiveness," Professor Tape Groubera concluded.
