Would your country agree to give such powers to the UN?

But countries such as yours must find the UN useful for *some*thing,
otherwise why do they stay a member? Why not just leave?
The UN is a U.S. creation that has served the interests of the U.S. extremely
well for 80 years.
Thank you for pointing that out.
It's not to say the UN has always done the bidding of the U.S., but mostly it
has, and biggest benefit to the U.S. is that it has largely kept other countries
in line. It isn't perfect, but it works in America's interest most of the time,
and pretty close to always on all the big things. Far right-wingnut rabid foaming about the UN is utterly misguided.

This is not your grandfathers UN and it's rabid antisemetism and danger
is real. Rightwing ciritism of the UN is spot on. The UN is a danger
to Humanity.

And in return, the US gets to control who is allowed into the
country to attend UN meetings.
But how often is anyone barred?
