If it's going to be controlled by the U.N. why leave its asset value in the hands of shareholders? Why not take away the existing shares from the shareholders, split the shares (roughly 2.5x per) and give every person on the planet one share. And then see what happens. Maybe people vote to turn over control to the U.N. or some other organization. Maybe they just sell their 1 share.
This is not advocacy, it's mental gymnastics. If you're going to say take away control from shareholders and invest it in some other body; it's hardly more controversial to also take away the asset value from (existing) shareholders also. If you only take away the control portion, the share price is going to implode anyway.
