The U.S. has already signaled that Iran's UN envoy pick is a no-go - and for VERY good reason. At the same time we are being entangled in these disputes; we do so and are to some degree continuing this because the UN is on U.S. grounds.
The statement "get the U.S. out of the UN and the UN out of the U.S." has been oft-repeated...so here is a possible solution - with one caveat.
The UN is moved to neutral territory (if at all possible), so we don't have to shell out a significant chunk for its operating expenses.
As for the caveat: no nation has any say-so on any person that any country picks for its envoy to the UN.
What if the UN was situated on an island and it was it's very own nation !
UNistan
They could develop their own police force and fire department ... hell, they could even have a congress to vote money for themselves !!
They can have the knotted gun as a parting gift from us.
Move it to Brussels. They’ll be kept busy fighting with the EU over who gets the best alcohol and prostitutes, and won’t have much time left to screw up the world. :)
Antarctica.
There’s already one in Geneva, Switzerland. Move everything there.

I agree with Antarctica. It’s neutral territory and they can keep an eye on all that melting ice for us.
Years ago I read that the UN was originally supposed to be in the Azores. Wish it was there now.
It should be moved to an easily bomb-able location.
The UN is moved to neutral territory...
Jerusalem - Temple Mount
Antarctica. That’s neutral.
Or how about we put it on a small isolated island.
How about Chernobyl?
Yes, they can save the planet by regulating penguin farts.
Oooh, yeah! I hear they have pretty sunsets there.
Sounds good to me. Actually, it will be on the ash heap of history in the not too distant future.
Maybe on a giant derek on the sea somewhere. Maybe in a space station. Maybe if they jettison it far enough, it wouldn’t come back.
I like the idea of Greenland! They want us to believe their Globull Warming predictions, so they should too - Greenland will soon be a sun and fun paradise, right?
I didn’t think of that angle, you are very clever
The UN should be in a countryless location.
I suggest Antarctica and that we should stop all US money going to it.
There’s a lovely little island to the south where Napoleon Bonaparte spent his final days.
Ship it to North Korea.
