The author expresses frustration with the United Nations (UN), questioning its moral credibility and effectiveness in light of its recent appointments and actions. Specific criticism is directed towards Francesca Albanese, who has been noted for her reluctance to label Hamas as a terrorist organization while considering Israel a common enemy of humanity. This perceived bias suggests a lack of impartiality within the organization, raising doubts about its role on the global stage.

Additionally, the piece highlights the irony of Iran being elected as the vice president of the Commission for Social Development shortly after a violent crackdown on protests, which undermines the UN's mission of promoting democracy and equality. The author finds this contradictory, indicating that such choices render the UN's actions almost farcical, particularly when juxtaposed with Secretary-General Guterres's congratulatory remarks to Tehran on the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

The article concludes with a lament about the UN's persistent failure to mediate or resolve significant global conflicts, ranging from the war in Ukraine to various other overlooked conflicts around the world. The author suggests that without a change in moral direction and credibility, the UN risks being perceived merely as a symbolic entity rather than an effective agent for change in international relations.
