    I’d wager they are even more useless. Speaking of the UN, people tend to forget that the UN fundumentalny changed the way the world works, arguably more through their score of daughter organizations like WHO, UNICEF, ICAO or IMF than through the General Assembly. And as long as no veto power was involved, the UNSC did aid in the resolution of several conflicts. It’s only the UNSC that gets useless as soon as a veto power goes rogue. That was the price to pay to have got it working in the first place - and we are paying it today, especially Ukraine.

    The ICC on the other hand is more of a declaration of intent. A valuable declaration, but not much more.
