The UN seems to only exist so that 3rd world dictators can have a place to get their egos stroked and throw spitballs at the US and Israel. You missed the worst part of the whole conference. Two of the attendees were Whackjob from Iran and Mugabe. Just another typical UN event. I can’t believe that anyone would expect the UN to behave differently then they always do.

Maybe, summits, even the World Food Summit, are aspirational junkets?
