I'm beginning to think that the United Nations is declining in its political influence. It didn't and couldn't stop the United States from invading Iraq; which really questioned the UN's power. If a huge super power such as the United States could not be stopped by the UN, what incentive do smaller lesser developed nations have to abide by the UN? Another example of the UN's decline is the Non-proliferation Treaty. There are still those select countries that have yet to sign or ratify the NPT, and then there are those that have chosen to back out all together (North Korea).
