The UN’s Inglorious 75th Anniversary Year

The United Nations was planning a grand celebration of its 75th anniversary to kick off the annual high-level UN General Assembly Week last September. Instead, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the UN had to settle for a mostly virtual event. There really wasn’t much to celebrate anyway. The UN system overall continued its pattern during 2020 of a bloated bureaucracy attempting to establish its relevancy with meaningless resolutions, pronouncements and expensive programs. The UN’s efforts to resolve disputes and end violent conflicts have too often proven fruitless. Too many UN agencies spend their time focusing on trying to realize their warped vision of social justice and massive world-wide wealth redistribution, while not getting the UN’s own dysfunctional house in order. The UN continuously has its hand out for more and more money beyond its regular budget to fund all manner of wasteful causes. In 2020, the United Nations system once again demonstrated the truth of Winston Churchill’s description of socialism: “a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”
