When Donald Trump stood at the United Nations General Assembly podium and asked, “What is the purpose of the United Nations?” the world heard provocation. But the question itself deserves a serious answer.

In this episode, Part 2 of a series, we explore the UN's actual role in today’s fractured multipolar world.

We ask:

* Which of its functions are indispensable — and which are symbolic, hollow, or obsolete?

* Why do such institutions persist, despite their flaws?

* And what universal needs do they reveal about how humans organize the world? This is an investigation, not an indictment.
