Yup; well put -Does anybody ever expect the UN to accomplish anything ? There aren't enough adjectives to define how inept, incompetent, corrupt and bribable they are. A petition may make you feel good but the UN is not the solution. As long as there is a demand for shark fins there will be those who will keep killing sharks. This is a cultural problem with no easy solutions. But don't count on the UN to solve it. Involving the UN usually causes problems to get worse, not better.
