Surely if one approves of international law then the UN is the only game in town.

I think the US should engage fully.

Reform? Perhaps but I think much of the UN`s problems stem from the fact that it often acts in it`s own best interests rather than the `common good`.

How reforms might tackle this problem I`ve no idea.

So whilst the UN is flawed I don`t see that as a reason to reject it. After all our democratic institutions (on both sides of the Atlantic) have flaws but no-one suggests we should just trash them and walk away
