How quickly people forget about the problems that are inherit with the UN. How quickly people forget about the history of the UN.
If you took out the security council, then you would find that the UN is based on a majority but a majority of what? My understanding is that there are more non democratic countries than there are democratic countries. Currently the EU seems to overlook state sponsored terrorism to help avoid any issues with internal migrant populations, this is most obvious with France.
I'm all for international oversight, but I am very wary of what will happen. Just look take a look at recent events at IWC (International Whaling Commision), Japan and other pro whaling countries paid for votes. They even got countries to join up, while providing the fee for joining as well as prommising aid to the countries, implication is that they will vote with Japan. It's a wonder that commercial whaling has begun again!
International control of the internet will end up being the same. At the best we could hope for the addition of protocols so that places like China can control what is accessable easier, and the removal of anonymity.
I for one will not welcome our new international internet overlords.
I should note that when i mention non democratic countries, i include countries that are considered to be democratic but by their size and average wealth, are easily brought by promises of foriegn investment and aid. When those plus non-democratic countries are put against those who are democratic with the freedom to do what they beleive... well the future doesn't look bright... just veery dark.
