It doesn't weaken the proposal but strengthens it. The US has invaded countries it shouldn't have been allowed to invade, namely Iraq, after its bogus "evidence" of WMD was revealed. Then there's Vietnam

Thank you, Diane, for a compelling disclosure of just how worthless and dishonest the U.N. and its members are in allowing a lie and an absurdity to exist for so many decades. The idea of some sort of world forum in which every nation has a possibility to express itself and maybe even resolve some common problems based on a global consensus is a good idea.

But, just as the short-lived "League of Nations" failed to live up to its expectations and was dissolved, so the U.N. must revise its charter and rules in order to become relevant. Two possibilities (which would immediately make a difference) would be for a "world court" to determine whether a nation - at least at the Security Council level - be denied a vote on matters in which it has an interest and whether to suspend membership of any nation that violates its charter.
