    The UN is largely ineffective due to the security council. The fact that one country can effectively shut down a vote is the opposite of the Federation of Planets.

    Now that I think of it, of course the UN is ineffectual. It’s set up like the US system of legislature. A powerful smaller body that is largely disproportionate to the rest of the world fully controls everything the UN does.

      I mean, it’s much better than the alternative of said country starting nuclear war to get its way.

      There’s also the Uniting for Peace resolution.

      It’s a victim of our reality and can never be anything more without a lot of work from a lot of people who have equally bold aspirations.
