If I were the Good God of implementing all good common sense ideas : here's one I work on:
- The UN would be evolved to a non-profit institution who primary job is to bring prosperity to the world thru becoming the (3rd) world's nuclear energy provider/supplier.
- UN power stations would be built with reasonable safeguards that allow it to safely and quickly shut down plants such an attempt be made to over take it's facilities.
- As a non-profit, it would direct it's revenue to building more energy and paying for any necessary security.
- For example, the UN would take over Iran's nuclear project and make sure the folks of Iran get the power they desire.
- For this service, the UN would get paid a reasonable amount, which they would then use to build their next nuclear plant, perhaps somewhere in Africa... Etc, etc.
- With cheap plentiful energy, many of the struggles of the developing world would quickly go away. Security issues would resolve. The UN could leverage it's energy to get uncooperative folks to cooperate.
- The UN wouldn't need any sort of taxation of the developed world to move the rest of the world forward. Rather, they'd just do what they would quickly find easy to do -- provide power and let the revenues of that effort promote it's own tasks.
- Etc, etc.
Or something like that...
