After World War 1, which was sparked by monarch egos and secret agreements that triggered entry of partner nations and changed a small skirmish into planetary war, nations pissed off by fools drawing them into hell founded the League of Nations as a common diplomatic table where brewing troubles were brought to the PUBLIC so that secret plotting and bad blood could get moderated, also by informing populations via media.

After World War 2, which could not be avoided in an era of infantile democracies whose populations and their psychopath tyrants had been formed by monarchist military mindset, nations created a global League 2.0 called the UNITED NATIONS with the task to secure global peace.

The UN’s global identity and task evolved to address causes of loss of peace – such as poverty and injustice. Hence, the UN gave birth to several programs that harmonized global collaboration. For example, the World Trade Organization and the World Bank, the UN Development Program UNDP, UN Environmental Program UNEP, WHO, International Labor Organization ILO, UNESCO (for education and culture), the International Criminal Court and others more that perform more or less well. 

Criticism of the UN usually addresses WTO, World Bank, Security Council, which are basically dominated still today by monarchist + colonial mindset of industry and financial barons and completely ignore the good rules set out by UNDP, UNEP and ILO, for example ILO 169 on rights of indigenous people. And that the UN are not really democratic. No one in there gets elected and no one elects anyone. This however is also a tricky thing, considering that only half of member nations even have proper democracies, while many are highly dysfunctional, some are religious monarchies and even totalitarian Nazi era dictatorships like China that openly call “Human Rights a Western invention not aligned with their culture”, therefore not applying to their citizens. They reserve the right to crush them, torture them, publicly flog women, cut off people’s heads and hang up corpses in public on crosses. It’s what Saudi Arabia does. Such abominations exist and are member of the UN. One may ask – why are they accepted at the table. That’s a very good question. Another good question is why your well educated politicians, business people and ordinary citizen Joe and Jills enrich China (whose single ruling party has killed 70 million citizens since WW2 people, double of entire WW2) by buying their low quality products. They wouldn’t trade with Nazi Germany, would they, but they do so with a genocidal country whose lifetime emperor has declared global military dominance by 2050 as the #1 policy goal. So, you know, Planet Earth is a beautiful place, but after 5,000 years of merciless empire, the ‘civilized’ human populations are quite a mess, and citizen intellect not very impressive.

Given the circumstances, the UN respect nation’s national sovereignity. They cannot force anyone. They serve as a diplomatic table to try to create basic harmony between often dysfunctional and incompetent people in government. You know that in your country, citizens elected to national parliament are not exactly competent, kind or even well-meaning. So, don’t be rosy-eyed about the people sitting at the UN and interest groups exerting influence on it… to avoid changes of the status quo … to avoid that justice, liberty, peace and abundance be established on Earth.

Notably, this mess is caused by adult generations, since children and teens have zero say in any of it. They have good intentions.      

So, little innocent, uneducated hobbit, what are you going to do? 

First of all, you understand that the UN are an *administration*, like your town council. There’s different interest groups, some awful Deatheaters, some with good intentions, even geniuses. So, it makes little sense to scream it’s all bad and has to get dismantled. Instead, compreehend how it works, get active, make it good by supporting the good ones, so it becomes better, for peace, joy and abundance for all. 

And then, realize that there’s also good, genius people on Earth who detest the doings of corrupt idiots and decided to make sure that at least the innocent – simple, poor populations, the animals and plants on Earth get protected and can lead a decent life in dignity.

You don’t hear of them on the blaring pages of mainstream media that only show big mouths and scandals. So, we’ll tell you of them here. We know this, because we know how to read and because we know the good innovators at the UN. We know the people. And you’ll get to know some in YL media. Here’s what they’ve done with that clunky UN thing:

Since the 1970s, in the still colonial era UN, these good people have gradually added on UN programs on development and environment, and called for open gatherings with proper experts, the scientific community and then civil society. So, while the Cold War stonehead dictators of the USA, Britain, France, Soviet Union and China were still doing criminal wars and massacres, sane people set up meaningful programs and collaborations at the UN, with the people for the people. These changes are manifested in steps such as

1992 UN Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro; the result: Agenda 21, a 40-chapter document explaining what needs to be done in 40 sectors (education, forests etc) to stop destruction of nature on Earth. If you think of the colonial-era “military peace” mindset that the UN were founded on, this is an enromous positive progress.

That’s excellent. Read the 40 chapter document and try to find one that you disagree with. 

Note: There is no ‘heinous conspiracy to enslave the people’ behind it, on the contrary. Still, countless people copy-paste idiot myths on social media and believe this was a secret evil plan, and they never even read it (that’s quite stoopid, isn’t it?), without ever having been at the UN or meeting someone in there, and for sure none of the world experts that bring innovation forward (quite extremely ignorant to make assumptions on the UN, its people and papers, aye?). On the contrary – the only ones ‘threatened’ by Agenda 21 are those who hate the UN, human rights, Fair Trade, social and environmental justice, the International Criminal Court, Ecocide as 5th Crime Against Peace … and that is dirty industry, organized crime and sadistic tyrants, and it’s their PR companies that invent and spread these dirty myths (which makes it double stoopid for the ordinary people to oppose it by copy-pasting idiot myths. Can you hear the monsters laughing?).

2000 UN Millenium Summit, in New York; the result: Millenium Declaration (4 GOALS peace, security and disarmament + development, ending poverty + protect common environment and human rights + democracy and good governance) 

2002 UN World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg

2005 Millenium Development Goals MDGs (8 GOALS Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Achieve universal primary education. Promote gender equality and empower women. Reduce child mortality. Improve maternal health. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases. Ensure environmental sustainability) + this time continuously tracking progress to make sure that governments take it easy, reduce waste and theft of development aid to boost ACCOUNTABILITY based on what has been tracked by an administrative process that requires involvement of government, civil society, OPENING UP transparency beyond closed big government doors. This was until 2015.

In parallel, the UN Decade of Education for Sustainable Development 2005-2014 was launched, in order to raise awareness, knowledge and competence in the population … first of all the young generation, but also via adult education and informal learning via media.

In order to continue the process of proper development, human rights, justice, environmental protection from criminal industry barons and tyrants etc., based on suboptimal experience with the MDGs, the global community sat down in a multi-year progress to figure out how to continue and do it better.

2017: The 17 Sustainable Development Goals SDGs are the next level step. This time, more than ever, TO INVOLVE THE PEOPLE to create the world they all wish to see, LOCALLY and GLOBALLY. The SDGs find their ways

• in national + LOCAL administration
• in education
• in funding programs for civil society projects
• in exchange programs
• in media

That’s excellent. Read the 247 indicators and try to find one that you disagree with. 

Note: There is no ‘heinous conspiracy to enslave the people’ behind it, on the contrary. Still, countless people, from fascists to hippies (at last they have something in common, it’s not very clever though) copy-paste idiot myths on social media and believe this was a secret evil plan, and they never even read it (that’s quite stoopid, isn’t it?), without ever having been at the UN or meeting someone in there, and for sure none of the world experts that bring innovation forward (quite extremely ignorant to make assumptions on the UN, its people and papers, aye?). On the contrary – the only ones ‘threatened’ by SDGs and the PEOPLE getting involved in implementing them are those who hate the UN, human rights, Fair Trade, social and environmental justice, the International Criminal Court, Ecocide as 5th Crime Against Peace … and that is dirty industry, organized crime and sadistic tyrants, and it’s their PR companies that invent and spread these dirty myths (which makes it double stoopid for the ordinary people to oppose it by copy-pasting idiot myths. Can you hear the monsters laughing?). 

Once again, the UN are an *administration*, like your town council. There’s different interest groups, some kind, some awful. So, support the good ones, so it becomes better, for peace, joy and abundance for all. #bemoreawesome

THEN AGAIN, 

don’t worry about the UN per se, but ride the GOOD WAVE of SDGs until 2030 which brings together well-meaning people at local level for doing good for people and planet and OFFER THE GOOD that you do, explained in their language. It opens up many potentials and benefits unlocked by working with city administration.

Us at YL, You and Youth Teams, we do not act FOR the SDGs, to achieve some XY% data. We act for people and planet out of LOVE.

We have acted before SDGs were invented, we aim higher than SDGs do, we evolve to #bemoreawesome than current citizen generations. Your vision and mission are higher.

So never get lost or feel small among decorated people talking big about SDGs. You play a far more demanding Sport than that. You are the ones bringing an upgrade to local SDG actions. Many don’t even know where you’re coming from. That’s alright.
