A revamped U.N., or a successor organization, should concentrate on preventing the invasion of sovereign nations, abolition of nuclear weapons, and the demilitarization of space. Russia, China, Japan, India, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have the power, combined, to do these things. We could have a power concert that can make and enforce international law. This organization should meet less frequently than the current U.N., keeping geopolitical conflicts out of the equation when it comes to working toward a more peaceful world.
