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

I can understand gripes with the political dimensions of the UN, even though I disagree, I can understand where they come from. But the UN does do lots, and lots of humanitarian work that if the UN doesn't do, nobody will.

If the UN stuck to humanitarian aid, no one would be complaining about it.
