I like the suggestion by former US ambassador to the UN, John Bolton on what to do with the UN: ”close it and hand out cell phones to all leaving the building.”
UN Committee against Racial Discrimination critical of Dutch “black Piet” tradition
The CERD, the committee of UN human rights experts is critical of the Netherlands. It wants the Dutch state to take a strong position against incitement for political purposes. It specifically expresses its worry about the way the Dutch tradition of “black Piet” is sometimes carried out.
The committee refers in particular to the way this figure is presented, which it considers a reflection of negative stereotypes of people from African origin. Black Piet is the assistant of the holy Nicolas, a saint from Dutch folklore, whose national day is the 5thof December.
I’m a dutch and the black Pete was a slave freed by Nicolas and who decided to stay with him.It’s a beautiful story about gratitude that the UN turn into an ugly racist fairy tale.

The useless UN is nothing more than a club and a propaganda pulpit for dictators and despots. The entire organization is rife with corruption. It’s NYC headquarters would be of more service if it were a self storage facility.
