This idea is that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres takes a leaf out of the playbook of former Anthropic AI researcher Jacob Coxon, and blow the whistle on his own organization for representing a danger to global society. Just as big a threat to humanity as AI, is the inability of the UN to function under its current charter. Yet the world is stuck with the current Charter as the permanent members of the UN Security Council whose power would be watered down by any change to it, are also responsible for any amendment to it, AND for appointing its Secretary-General. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Each of the permanent members of the Security Council are abusing their power by sitting in a chamber where they use freely the veto/abstain voting system to serve their own individual interests. One abstain or veto from a permanent member prevents any meaningful action that could benefit the world at large. It is a double whammy of structural wrongness - the inequity of the power of veto, plus the right to vote on issues in connection with which they have a conflict of interest. This ensconced system, and the abuse of it by the permanent members, is what prevents any meaningful action being taken by the UN that could benefit humanity as a whole. Equally, the the permanent members of the Security Council are abusing their power by refusing to deliver on the San Francisco Promise of 1945 - the promise by the founders of the UN that its Charter would be reviewed for its fitness for purpose every 10 years, given the changing needs of the world over time. Members of the General Assembly have raised this requirement for action from time to time over the last few decades, but in a tokenistic way only, as it is well understood by all countries that the permanent members will not budge on it. The UN is the closest thing we as global citizens have to a co-ordinator for global actions on things that affect all our security. With looming existential crises, and conflicts of interest everywhere, it will take a brave Secretary-General to call out the threat to humankind posed by the UN's failure to address its own structural dysfunction. The choice of Secretary-General is up to the Security Council, so do not expect the next Secretary-General to call foul on the system they have just been appointed to serve. It is up to Antonio. He needs to call it - the complete and utter failure of the Charter of his own organization to deliver for the needs of humanity - on his way out of office. The fix? Amend the UN Charter to remove the veto system, and replace it with... anything. Surely, for example, an 80% of the WHOLE of the Security Council vote (12 out of 15) endorsing a UN action should be enough for there to be a UN action? More countries will chip into UN coffers, too, if common sense can be allowed to prevail.
