The Model UN is a joke. So ridiculously self-indulgent. Ban is about the most impotent, mal-motivated, ill-suited Secretary General. There were many better choices. He's no Dag Hammarskjold.

A terrible shame that such a potentially world reforming institution remains so powerless. I have no doubt that the leaders of tomorrow will be as partisan and pointless as the leaders of today.

While we encourage debate on issues and opinions relating to the United Nations, please refrain from vulgarity or personal attacks when commenting on videos. Thank you.

Excuse me but the United Nations is a democratic organisation. I have legitimate critique of the leadership. This is laughable. Must be some kind of joke right?

[UNAUSA01]

Absolutely you have a right to critique leadership, and to debate whichever issues you wish. It is the vulgarity used by 'consdel2000' and your subsequent personal insults towards that user which will not be tolerated. Thank you for cooperating.

Wow! Didn't realize this was on Youtube. I was there last year when Ban-Ki Moon addressed everyone. Forget where my class was located though.

the world is fucked up because of several countries that exercise their power with no idea what they are doing. I don't wanna list the countries because you will know what I'm talking about.

An absolute callous, cowardice act of murder committed by the Afghan people today in Afghanistan. How could they go out and murder peace keepers? These people who were murdered did not come under or represent the U.S, British or any other flag other than that of the United Nations which represents peace for all people who inhabit this planet. And to the bigotry pastor Terry Jones shame on you, your meaningless act has resulted in the death of 8 PEACE KEEPERS. R.I.P

The legitamacy and acceptance is UN is effectively dead because this pro-western general got the post! His statements are not much differ from that of US state department. No wonder hes from South Korea which is an ally of US, and him being a former diplomat to US may explain the reason why his views are always in aliance with the US! He always got problems with countries hostile to US and its allies but regarding countries like Israel who grossly violate "human rights' hes tight lipped!
