But what would you have instead of the UN?

(please don't say some sort of organisation that only "nice" countries can join)

There are UN reports concerning North Korea, in case you are curious to know

The United Nations Human Rights Council has established a Commission of Inquiry (COI) to investigate systematic, widespread and grave violations of human rights in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Well that is (genuinely) nice to know.

The reactionaries who want to abolish supra-national institutions simply don't care about humanitarian disasters, because they only believe in the Law of the Jungle. Despite many problems and malfunctions, the UN agencies play a role in alleviating these situations that cannot be replaced

Yep, "might is right" is their motivating principle.
