    Sorry to be a downer, but the UN General Assembly resolutions and votes are non-binding. The UNGA also voted to condemn the US invasion of Iraq and Russian invasion of Ukraine, and yet the aggressors were not sanctioned or reprimanded.

      I have seen that most of the opposition has come together to threaten the governing coalition with a vote of no confidence if they don’t do it soon, and that only about half of the coalition opposes it, so hopefully we will see a change of course soon. Disclaimer thoigh that I am not Finnish and don’t particularly follow Finnish politics, so I might be missing context

    Why call it the UN when one nation controls all the others.

    It’s like the ancient Roman Empire … a land of equals, but one is more equal than the others.

    And just like the ancient Roman empire, it is starting to collapse.

      Why call it the UN when one nation controls all the others.

      Really it’s the five permanent members of the UN Security Council: the US, UK, France, China and Russia.
