UN Shields Tyrants As U.S. Battleships Steam Towards Iran

Iran’s streets are running red and the regime is trying to make it invisible, cutting the internet so mass killing becomes “plausible deniability.” This episode of "Basic Law" uses that horror to expose something bigger: how the post-1945 UN system, built to prevent catastrophe, too often rewards process over results, allowing tyrants to hide behind sovereignty, vetoes, “draft language” and endless investigations. You’ll learn why the UN repeatedly stalls when action is costly (from Rwanda and Srebrenica to Syria and Iran), how dictatorships can capture human-rights bodies and why the same institutions that move fast to condemn Israel can stay silent while Iranians are hunted in hospitals.
