The UN general assembly is literally a puppet to the powerful influence of the Super Power members of the security council.



A simple veto to a resolution passed by the general assembly can be rejected.Implying it is not being run on democratic norms.It is practically hostage to 7 nations.So why have it in the first place ?.



The way I see it is that the UN should be based on truly democratic structure similar to the Parliamentary form of governance. All member states should have the right to forward their point of view on a matter which comes forward to it for deliberation and their vote should be in equal value of all nations irrespective of its power status..It should be put to secret ballot and on the basis of simple majority the resolution should be passed and sent to the the upper house for further vetting(detailed below) then implemented in the same spirit within shortest possible time frame.



Secondly, it is necessary for check and balance a different version of upper house be formulated.It should not be in the characteristic of the security council rather on the pattern of the Senates which exist as upper houses in both the Parliamentary and Presidential forms of governance.The members should be elected from all continents country’s on proportionate basis .Like for instance,Asia,Africa,America ,Australia, etc.



The two Houses should have their speakers or chairman’s as functional heads.The Secretary General should be the titular head for administrative ,Public relations etc duties.



The above is a loosely drafted suggestion.If put to a think tank for formulation purposes, it could be turned into a reality and thus provide the world with a truly democratic and independent world body to provide justice and fair play to all and for maintenance of global peace.
