If anything should be addressed in the UN, it is 1) the veto privileges of the USA, Russia, China, UK, France (furthermore an outdated list consisting of the WWII winners), and 2) its pathetic enforcement powers that allow most nations to simply disregard whatever the UN says.
Funfact that no little amount of the UN member states have a rather poor human right records and a big one in all around douchebaggery.
The UN was once a nice and noble idea, but it has become extremly corrupted.
The primary purpose of the UN has always been peace. Tell me, how is peace helped by the expulsion of a large number of member states? Which, mind, only alienates them further from the other UN goals.
The criticism aimed at the UN is always that it is not perfect in every single way so it should be abolished, giving way to an international order that gave rise to two world wars. Yeah, that system was perfect alright.
The UN exists for the benefit of its members. If members don’t like it anymore, they can leave. Since they don’t, it is clear that there is lasting benefit to the organisation. Which is clear, especially now that the WHO is taking the lead in fighting corona.

The EU is just a loose economic cooperation organization. It's not SPQR.The EU is as efficient as the UN.LOL
A sentiment which only shows how little you know about the EU.
