UN bashing is fashionable these days among right-wing propagandists.

The UN is not a perfect organization but it remains the only viable solution to the
national interests that trump human rights.

Dealing with these national interests entail dialogue with countries that are backward
due to their religious beliefs (by the way the U.S. and U.K. may fall into this category as
well since religious groups also exert a negative influence on their governments) but this
is the problem of establishing communication necessary to negotiate for a better world.

The UN may not be perfect but self-interested nationalism can be worse as we see
for example in Indonesia and Israel.

Ultimately, a protection for the rights of women is possible through the UN if appeals
are continued and paternal authoritarianism is lessened.

Fox remains a crude fact-twisting propaganda machine that salves the consciences
of people with a limited world view.
