The site The UN is Evil is an
interesting one. It brings up several good points about the United
Nation’s draw-backs. It is a bit harsh and non-objective at times.
However it does address key issues that one should think about before
giving automatic moral clearance to everything the UN touches.

1. Sovereignty of Free Nations
2. Individual Rights
3. Middle East Conflict (is it biased? Refer to LGF for info)
4. The New Racism?
5. Appeasement of Dictators
6. Rule of Law (The World Court Issue)
7. Global Taxation

I will end this post with a quote from Ayn Rand

There is no margin for error about a monstrosity that was created for
the alleged purpose of preventing wars by uniting the world against any
aggressor, but proceeded to unite it against any victim of aggression.
The expulsion of a charter member, the Republic of China [Taiwan]-an
action forbidden by the U.N.’s own Charter-was a ‘moment of truth,’ a
naked display of the United Nations’ soul.

What was Red China’s qualification for membership in the U.N.? The
fact that her government seized power by force, and has maintained it
for twenty-two years by terror. What disqualified Nationalist China
[Taiwan]? The fact that she was a friend of the United States. It was
against the United States that all those beneficiaries of our foreign
aid were voting at the U.N. It was hatred of the United States and the
pleasure of spitting in our face that they were celebrating, as well as
their liberation from morality-with savages, appropriately, doing
jungle dances in the aisles.
