October 24, 2023 is United Nations Day, the anniversary
of the official creation of the United Nations in 1945.

It is also Vijayadashami, also known as Dussehra, Dasara
or Dashain, a major Hindu festival celebrated every year
at the end of Navaratri. (from Wikipedia)

I think it is also about the same phase as Yom Kippur,
the Jewish Day of Atonement, though not the same
lunar month.

Perhaps get rid of the Security Council and their vetos
for starters.

The "Security Council" is a cold-war artifact for
the most part, "elitist" too. Russia wouldn't play
if it could not block the USA and vice-versa.

However the general membership is pretty damned bad
of late - far too many countries run by the worst of
the worst and/or those just hoping to scam some cash
by making customized UN edicts.

IMHO, it does not serve its intended purpose. Never
really did, at least not well. Now - flush it.
