Who does the U.N. represent?

The Forgotten People: "Meanwhile, the ghoulish head of that sovereign state - a member in good standing of the United Nations - is presumably a wanted man around the world after the International Criminal Court (ICC) last month issued warrants for his arrest on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity."

This shows one of the major problems with the U.N. -- it represents the rulers of nations, not necessarily the people of those nations. Many of the members of the U.N. are not even indirectly chosen by the people.
