As much as I love that to see, the only way the #UN would get fixed if it was #replaced like it once replaced the #LeagueOfNations.

_The Evening Post_, 4 May 1923:
THE SUPPORT OF REASON
[Editorial]
… we have deemed it wise in the past to combine advocacy of the League of Nations with a warning against great expectations from an institution as yet in infancy.… It seeks … to rid the world of war and tumult, so that each nation may have peace within its borders and freedom for full national cultural development.

@saint_rebel_ukraine_ #UN being powerless and dysfunctional isn't an accident, but by design.

Otherwise it would not have #VetoPowers and be more like the #LeagueOfNations...

On this day in 1920, both the #TreatyOfVersailles and the Covenant of the #LeagueOfNations took effect.
Thereby solving war.

#DYK that although the notion has evolved over the years the Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of Terrorism signed under the auspices of the #LeagueofNations in 1937 is considered a significant attempt to define terrorism as an int'l crime?

On this date in #1939, the #ussr was expelled from the #leagueofnations due to its invasion of #Finland on 30 November of that year. Although the war did not go well for the #soviets at first, they ultimately prevailed in securing their territorial demands. The more things change… #history #europe #worldwar2

"A time will come when the #LeagueofNations will have to deal with racial questions, when it will have to eradicate differences between races which manifest themselves in unfair treatment inflicted on certain races, & constitute a menace to the peace of the world." (1921)
