I'm with Darekill. I do not need any UN to be able to "see" what's going on, who the bad guy is, nor to justify Lego "legally sanctioning" other teams breaking international treaties. Despite dozens and dozens of (often ridiculous) flameposts, my opinion on international disputes is usually formed by the first couple of posts that reveal the cold facts - there was an NAP here, MPP there. I add my own experience with the parties involved in and make the picture for myself up. No UN can give me a different picture. It would be the same (ridiculous) arguments at a different ground only.
Whatever the UN Charter "allows" is doable even now - Lego is perfectly free to embargo GS or GoW+ND. We could decide that we consider GoW, GS, or ND such backstabbing bastards we no longer honour our past deals with them. No need for an "approval" of other teams through any UN.
Guys, let's face it: honouring treaties or not is part of the game. It's a skill to be able to distinguish between who will honour a treaty, who will "honour" it, and who will simply not... and at what time.
I have repeatedly expressed the opinion everybody is free to do whatever he/she wants (and because of that, I care very little about NAP, MPPs etc.). He/she just has to understand everything has consequences - GoW attacks RP despite having an MPP? Fine, everybody now knows GoW is capable of attacking an MPP partner. I do not care if, technically, NAP was not part of that MPP. I have my common sense. GS accepts the cities from RP? Fine, everybody now knows GS is capable of sticking to the wording of a treaty instead of its spirit (no arguments, please - not meant to start any, strictly my personal PoV only). I don't care what GS says about the non-hostility of this act. I have my common sense. And I could go on and on...
If "the UN [would be] here not for avoiding wars, [but] for making backstabbing consequences", then we do not need it. Backstabbing DOES have consequences, even now. UN would not make them any different.
BTW... where is the guarantee that teams would vote according to the "real justice" and not to maximize their own benefit? Example: if Lego had a "bad" deal with GS in place, we might be tempted to support a resolution against GS simply to make ourselves "legally" able to quit a deal we would no longer like...
