How it works. It's a democratic entity. Resolutions are submitted to vote. The majority is always right. That's how a democracy works. . . . .

no. you are quite in error
the majority is nothing more than the group larger than the minority
being in the majority no more confers correctness or moral superiority than does being in the minority
in UN terms, you are substituting 'process' for 'substance'
does Mill's expression 'the tyranny of the majority' have no meaning ?
this is indeed the ‘problem’ with the ‘democratic system’, what happens when the majority is wrong ?
and it is a not uncommon occurance
