Does the United Nations General Assembly have any real "power" within the UN?

Should the United Nations have the power to remove any head of state or government from power?

  • I was thinking and I believe that the United Nations should have this power over the member nations in order to maintain an atmosphere of peace and harmony in and among nations. What ...show more

  • Answer:

    Um..no..what about the rights of citizens to choose their own leaders. I certainly don't want the French to have a say in who our president is.

Absolutely not. That is a one-world government and I prefer what little sovereignty I still have.

exactly how are they going to accomplish that? With their...haha...army? Yes lets allow an unelected international body of do nothings to usurp the will of the people of sovereign nations. Come to think of it, it's a great idea, the fastest possible way to put an end to The UN and freeing up a hell of a lot of real estate in Manhattan.

The idea is naive, simplistic, unrealistic, childish and misguided. You really don't have any idea of the ineptitude, corruptibility and lack of wisdom which makes up the UN.

Absolutely not. Honestly, we (the United States) are the UN. We hold the meetings in NYC. We donate 22% to the UN budget (mind you, the rest of the members outside of the top 10 donors contribute a measly 23.908% to the budget). No joke of an organization deserves that kind of power, especially if they would use it to spit in our face. Furthermore, we need to avoid a global government. We did well when we isolated ourselves as much as possible, but when we decided to police the world and compete with the USSR following WWII, we started down the path to financial strain in which we currently suffer. Libs look at societies in Europe and comment on how well their liberal governments operate, citing our debt as evidence against capitalism. However, we have the unfair burden of policing the world (including Europe), which takes the financial burden off of these guys. The faster we limit excessive international interactions and become more self-sufficient (which would involve leaving the UN, not granting it this power), the better off we will be.

Good god, no. That is the single most moronic idea I've heard since cap and trade.

A good majority of countries will pull out of the UN then, lol

I think so, as long as the United Nations is just with it. Because for example, in Africa, a lot of the leaders are corrupt so the people are suffering. The people don't have the means to fight back, and they want better leaders, so that's why I think someone should have the authority to do that

I don't think the UN should be allowed to twiddle their thumbs with out getting permission from me. I have no idea why they even exist. They should have been thrown out of here years ago.

No, because under international law there is the concept of state integrity and territorial sovereignty.
