Townhall with Oby Ezekwesili | How can the UN be accountable to the people?

Check out this conversation between our co-founder - Colombe Cahen-Salvador - and Dr. Oby Ezekwesili on how to ensure the United Nations is accountable to us all and not just a few superpowers.
From climate change to poverty, the world is facing many survival threats that are going untackled. Those threats are already impacting us everywhere. They are global, and the United Nations fails to deal with them due to its undemocratic, exclusive and outdated setup. It’s time to act and come together to find bold solutions and push them forward. This townhall will help us just that by exploring how to make the UN transparent, and democratic & how to give people a stake in it!
Who is Dr. Oby Ezekwesili? She is an Economic and Human Capital Policy Expert, advising reform-minded leaders of countries on vision and strategies for achieving sustained, broad-based, inclusive, shared and equitable Economic Growth and Development, especially in Africa. In addition to having served as a Vice-President for the World Bank, she founded Fix Politics and the School of Politics, Policy and Governance, and co-founded Transparency International

According to Atlas, it is a large movement with over 25,000 volunteers worldwide. "Right now, we're powered by a network of over 25,000 individuals from 134 countries. They're not just participating; they're leading the charge." However, it currently only has 338 followers and this video has its first 1 like after 5 days. That doesn't add up. 🧐

Dear Richard, we count 25,000 supporters in our database who have subscribed to our petitions or supporters of our past advocacy campaigns. They receive our newsletters, invites, and updates. However, since we started doing politics, we rebuilt our teams from scratch and only 100 or so individuals are currently volunteering with us - this is because many of our supporters both come from undemocratic countries (e.g. Hong Kong) or simply are not (yet) interested in doing politics. We are small but we try our best :) If you want to help us, please let us know!

@@Atlas Then please write this correctly on your website! Otherwise you will give the impression that you are impostors. That makes you untrustworthy. I can't help you, because I think your concept is fundamentally wrong. A political party on a global level cannot function in this way. There have already been many such attempts, all of which have failed. Something like this might be useful later on in a democratic world federation, when there is a world parliament. But now it is counterproductive and would only divide instead of unite.
