do any one have a notion that the UN has been functioning quite transparently ,giving equal importance to all the member nations? isn't it true that the UN has been closing their eyes to what the us has been doing. don't you think that the UN has been nodding for all the decisions taken by the US? is this by any way helping the world?

An education activity called Model United Nations has grown popular in schools worldwide. Model UN has students simulate (usually) a body in the UN System to help them develop skills in debate and diplomacy. Conferences are held by both colleges and high schools. Committees typically included are General Assembly committees, ECOFIN committees, the Security Council, and a large range of specialized committees like a Historical Security Council or the Senior Management Group. Students debate topics that the UN addresses and try to represent their country's views in order to reach a solution.
The perception of the UN as a large, world-encompassing government organization has prompted many ideas about world government and world democracy. The UN is also often the subject of conspiracy theories.[37]
