From the article :

"A successor to the U.N. or a modified U.N. must follow this war. It must be an organization where one nation cannot escape accountability because it is in a special class. Tyrants and despots are watching this war and will learn what they can get away with. Other nations will draw lessons about giving up nuclear weapons. The stakes in the outcome of the present conflict cannot be overstated. Undoubtedly, the interest in ending the conflict and providing off-ramps is high. Policymakers will have to balance providing a face-saving exit for a nuclear-armed autocrat against saving the international rules-based system. They will need to be creative about ending the war and considerate of the lessons learned when shaping a successor organization or modified U.N. system. Whatever the new organization, a total veto by one special status state will be antithetical to the purpose of that body. There are many ideas on how to address this problem"



Neat - one step closer to an unelected world government. Lord knows they're heading in that direction with the WHO.


> Lord knows they're heading in that direction with the WHO.

WHO as in World Health Organization? If so, can you please point out your rationale for your link between the WHO and "an unelected world government"?



Maybe just kick Russia off the security council?


It’s in the interest of everyone to keep communication channels open between superpowers and even lesser powers.
