Ah yes the UN stopped mattering the minute it started reporting on Israel’s horrendous human rights violation. Suddenly they don’t matter as a body. I suppose every human rights organization that has been documenting Israeli crimes is also not good enough?

Not generally, no. The UN is, ultimately, a political body.
I’d take the UN more seriously if they took themselves more seriously. Their “Human Rights Council” membership, as an example, is a bad joke.

I think there is value in the UN, and it’s a net positive, but I don’t much care about any specific resolutions.
