A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions


Rules: (interactive)


1) Be nice and; have funDoxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].


5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

The first result would be the UN getting immediately booted from the United States. The 2nd result would likely be a war between nations backing the UN and nations that will not submit to the UNs assumed authority.

Your question exists as a central tenant in many works of fiction.

There's more than a handful of member states involved in some form of armed conflict.

Who would be the enforcers?

[–] beep@piefed.world -2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Let's assume top 10 countries by human rights index.

Ireland would be in the top 10 (if such an index were to exist) as we're currently sitting around #4 in the Human Freedom Index. But we're militarily neutral, and far more experienced in peace keeping rather than strategic military conflict.

So we'd sit that one out.

How they would inforce it on countries way stonger than them?

[–] beep@piefed.world -1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Let UN at least work on weaker countries.

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I suppose the weaker countries aren't the big problem, and peacekeeping forces have been deployed to a few of them in the past.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

A lot of conflicts are fueled by the big countries giving arms to both side in civil wars . How would you stop that

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

UN had no executive power. It is like if judges passes ruling but the police and law inforcements do not execute it

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Who decides what either look like ?

[–] beep@piefed.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Independent research organisations.

Yikes nobody agrees on either thing sufficiently enough to enforce them with violence.
