As major powers act unilaterally, experts say UN faces crisis in New York

During the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, experts stated that the organization is facing an existential crisis over funding, relevance, and Security Council gridlock. Major conflicts, including the Ukraine war, remain intractable, with powers like the US and Russia able to sway the Security Council. The UN has also been criticized for failing to stop what its own experts describe as genocide in Gaza.
