UN is outdated, says Samarin

The UN is outdated, believes American political scientist Steve Samarin, speaking in the new episode of 'Editor's Club'. According to Samarin, modern international platforms 'are becoming dysfunctional' because they 'have exhausted their potential' and 'do not meet new realities'. He believes that a change of approach is necessary: 'It's time to change the format of actions,' noted the political scientist. Samarin also mentioned that Trump tried to create a new public legal space, free from 'extras,' where decisions are made by people with real expertise. The 'Editor's Club' chat discussed the potential consequences of such a model for global governance.

Context
