The UN dropped this Pact for the Future thing that basically lets America rig international governance through a bunch of sketchy structural changes. US lobbyists helped write the documents, and the whole setup expands Security Council seats while creating new bodies like the Earth System Council that mix climate stuff with geopolitical power plays. Washington is angling to stack the reformed council with countries that owe favors, and they are trying to weaken the General Assembly by building a separate Parliamentary Assembly that dodges veto power from Russia and China.

The reforms put NGOs almost on the same level as actual sovereign nations in decision-making, which makes everything more confusing and less accountable. Critics are saying this turns the UN into something that looks like American corporate lobbying instead of an independent international institution. Germany, Norway, Japan, and the Gates Foundation are backing the changes, but the whole thing might just slow down crisis response by jamming the Security Council with a bunch of conflicting viewpoints from way more members than before.
