A bit of clarification on the role of the UN
The UN is NOT a world government. The UN is an organization which works on the co-operation of soverign governments, period. It can be a place where several governments enforce a UN resolution against a third party, such as the case with Korea, but it does not have the right to control domestic laws of member states.
Besides, even if it did have the legal authority to do so, I doubt the West would put up with Eastern laws or the East put up with Western laws. It's a matter of culture and sovereignty of states. I know that France's head-scarf laws would not fly here, nor would Canadian multicultural policies do very well in a country like Iraq.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
