I understand the point you are making and the very least you should
is use lower case l as in liberal as an adjective and Liberal as a proper noun.
At least that will be grammatically correct.
Never the less you will cause confusion.
However the term "liberal" has been captured by the American political
and media scene.

Foxy thanks I still want to understand how a group with a name like *the United Nations*, can fail so often.
They fail in Rwanda letting thousands die.
Intervened in the Balkans.
But do very little in Syria/and a host of suffering middle east country,s.
Do not do enough in south west Africa a place of reoccurring deaths by starvation, but find time to tell us not to smack our kids.

Dear Belly,

You've raised some valid points however we do need
to remember that the United Nations although it provides
a forum for world opinion and a mechanism for conflict
resolution a major difficulty is of course that compliance
with the resolutions and rulings of the United Nations is
voluntary, no country is willing to surrender its
sovereignty to an international body.

The United Nations is most effective, in fact, when the
superpowers are able to agree on a course of action and mobilize
their blocs to support it.

Even so, the organisation does provide an influential forum
for world opinion, and, while it does not always achieve
what we would like, it surely helps make things better.

Foxy & Belly,
Of course it is well to remember that the UN is a political body and
has the failings of political bodies.
Trade offs, unspoken agreements etc all complicate things.

It makes itself hard to accept it as an effective organisation when it
does things like appoint Libya as chair of a Human Rights committee.
That was a few years back as I remember and it caused a stir when it
criticised Australia on human rights.

The link shows us the new Summer dress and talks of our sending our youth to tour the world much in the style of old Britain sending its youth on tours of Europe.
Hang on! no it does not, it tells us of the benefits in importing other cultures!

Yes indeed Belly,

<<[He] has been working in refugee camps>>

I just looouuuuve the way that whenever they are caught out they claim to be just innocent charity workers.

But the sad part is some --the Greens and activist lawyers -- would buy ever word of it
