United Nations

Although founded in the US as a successor to the League of Nations (which the US had not joined) and headquartered beside New York City, NY’s East River, the UN has often faced problems and divisions within the US. Conservatives like the John Birch Society and others on the Right have rejected any implications of global sovereignty while interventionist presidents have chafed under its restrictions and censure on military actions or debates over China and the Middle East. The US has also become a notable delinquent in dues, representing both rejection and criticism of the UN.
