    What is the UN human rights chief supposed to do about it?

    He did all that was in his power:

    Volker Türk told an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council there must be an independent and transparent investigation of the two attacks in Lebanon on Tuesday and Wednesday where these devices exploded, reportedly killing 37 people and injuring more than 3,400 others.

      They could all say they are going to disband if Israel doesn’t stop. Why even have the UN if they can’t do anything

      Or better yet expel isreal

        How would you react if the UN becomes the world government, so that they would finally have the power to stop wars and hunger that people always complain about?

        Precisely.

        First of all, that’s also not in his power.

        Secondly, how would disbanding the part of the UN that investigates human rights abuses help Palestinians?

        Edit: Wait, you think the entire UN should be disbanded over this?

        The UN is the only reason we haven’t had a nuclear war yet. Otherwise, countries wouldn’t have a neutral world forum.

          No I think the un is mostly useless.

          They are united about nothing

            That’s not what the UN is for… it’s not a military force… it’s a round table for nations to work their differences out via words and not nuking each other.
