This week, the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations was held on the brink of world war. It should prompt pause and inquiry why an organization formed 79 years ago at the end of World War Two to prevent future wars is such a failure.

Unbridled Western imperialism is and always has been at the root of global danger and impotence of the UN.

The Second World War defeated specific forms of imperialism – Nazi Germany and Japan. It did not eradicate the disease of imperialism, which soon metastasized in the form of the United States and its Western partners.
