How is the UN supposed to stop a military coup?
- shadowgovt 6y agoIn the past, via a UN Peacekeeping detachment. https://peacekeeping.un.org/en/military https://peacekeeping.un.org/en/military Peacekeeping missions have operated as recently as 2004-2017 in Haiti to stabilize the country after a coup (MINUSTAH).

I personally don't trust in UN and don't think of them as an effective organization.
