@Paullima I like the concept, but already at point 3 I disagreed in the form. I think that #UN should change (or die for a new organization to be born). Then that new organization would need a deep process of creation with a (World) wide perspective, diverse and taking in consideration all human kind. And making all that work and putting it onto a petition would be difficult. But I would sign a petition to create a more fair and useful UN (sort and not totally define petition).

UN registrieren mehr als 9000 zivile Todesopfer im Ukraine-Krieg
Seit Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs haben die Vereinten Nationen in der Ukraine mehr als 9000 zivile Todesopfer registriert. Fast 16.000 Menschen wurden verletzt. Und die Dunkelziffer dürfte noch deutlich höher liegen.
At least, that's the impression I get from the many Ukrainian social media accounts I follow.
Their grievances come down to a perceived 'both sides-ism', where these organisations choose to be tough and/or unhelpful towards Ukraine and too lenient towards #Russia
The most recent example are the comments of #HRW arguing against Ukraine's wish for #ClusterBombs whereas Russia has been using this type of #ammunition since day one.
Since the assassination of the Haitian president in 2021, gangs have taken control of major parts of the capital, Port-au-Prince, and are causing a hunger crisis and havoc in the country.

"The plan has also drawn criticism both domestically as well as internationally, from neighboring countries such as #SouthKorea, the #Philippines and #China.

'There's a photo of #Prigozhin serving wine to George w. #Bush in the #Kremlin when he visited decades ago.

'French forces have left #Mali and the #Wagner#mercenaries are believed to have taken over some of their bases in the norther n regions. There has been an aggressive anti French anti UN forces campaign both in the Central African Republic #CAR and in Mali, Mali has called for the #expulsion of #UN#peacekeepers '
'Activists in #Mali who are pro #Russia , they want #UN peacekeepers to be to be replaced by #Russian forces now. Last week the UN Security Council voted to end its peacekeeping mission in the country. The withdrawal of #Minusma forces started on 1st of July, according to Mali’s state TV. #Wagner’s purported aim in Mali is to fight #jihadist groups - and they clearly enjoy some popular support. But there is a sense that Russia’s #mercenaries have worsened the security situation'
The United Nations body that regulates the world’s ocean floor is preparing to resume negotiations that could open the international seabed for mining, including for materials vital for the green energy transition.
Ok, let me make this transparent for the folks in the back. When #Russia does whatever harm it intends to do to the #ZaporizhiaNPP, they will accuse #Ukraine. We know they intend to because they distributed letters at the #UN denying this before it happens. This is like the most transparent signal they intend to.
So, hear me out: I've read in many posts, articles, opinion pieces, etc how Youtube will be impossible to replace because of the sheer amount of data it stores. Any youtube replacement would need huge data centers and therefore a tremendous amount of money to keep everything running smoothly in terms of hardware, staff, etc....
The #Council should rule that the #Russian aggressor stop the shelling of #refugees immediately and the UN should secure the #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (#ZPP) and empower #NATO to put its decisions into effect by armed measures (Art. 42, #UNCharter).

OC I think the UN, or some international agency, should provide an alternative to youtube and similar social media
