livefree_ordie, The promotion of peace and unity is of the highest callings. Without international organizations our world would be more like a jungle of competing forces than it is today. Obviously as the world beneath it changes it must too. Like the present membership of the Security Council and the veto option which exists now. Thank goodness there will always be international organizations to help maintain some semblance of order in our world.
"But with the UN involved and those do holders who just simply know what is best for all the citizens of the World versus leaving humans alone to live their own lives, they just cannot have it that way. So they have to tinker with us."
Would you really rather have a world of weak central governments like Somalia, the Sudans et al. Or military governments as Myanmar.
People like Beck who apparently believes an outer spirit breathes through him, and who, according to your post, still mistrusts world bodies as he does, are on the wrong bus. Passengers as you oughta read more, and get off it. Your lack of trust and value of cooperation is stultifying.
Predecessor: The League of Nations

The League of Nations

The predecessor of the United Nations was the League of Nations, established in 1919, after World War I, under the Treaty of Versailles "to promote international cooperation and to achieve peace and security."
As of 20 April 1946, the League of Nations ceased to exist, having handed over all of its assets to the United Nations, and having granted the new UN Secretariat full control of its Library and archives.
Earlier international organizations and bodies
In 1865, States first established international organizations to cooperate on specific matters. The International Telecommunication Union was founded in 1865 as the International Telegraph Union, and the Universal Postal Union was established in 1874. Both are now United Nations specialized agencies.
In 1899, the International Peace Conference was held in The Hague to elaborate instruments for settling crises peacefully, preventing wars and codifying rules of warfare. It adopted the Convention for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes and established the Permanent Court of Arbitration, which began work in 1902.
