Yes. It will bring new changes and give it more power.
It has a charter already enumerating its powers and its interests.
Being that the United Nations is and has been the most costly, corrupt and impotent body politic ever devised by man, it is my vehement and not-so-humble opinion B) that the United Nations be completely and permanently dismantled and never to raise its fugly head again!
Just my not-so-humble opinion. B)
What the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
No. The UN Charter.

I agree with papadawg. Dismantle the United Nations!
You guys are only kidding, right? You don't really think it's better that countries never talk than that they talk a little, right? But no, the United Nations doesn't need a constitution, it's not a country!
In saying that the UN is corrupt, what do you mean? Are you suggesting that a physical part of the bureaucratic structure is corrupt, and if so, what part – the organs, such as the secretariat or the International court of justice or the Economic and Social Council; the subsidiary organs like UNHCR; Treaty bodies such as the Human rights committee; or specialised agencies like the international labour organisation? Also what kind of corruption are you referring to? There is a difference between an organisation being unfair and being corrupt. The UN has brought about effective relief to conflicts in the past. For example the bombing of the rainbow warrior in New Zealand by France was resolved through a decision by the International Court of Justice. France was found to have breached its obligations owed to New Zealand consequently gave them damages. Perhaps the system appears to be impotent because international politics (and law) often takes a very long time to evolve. For example, human rights reforms may seem to be ridiculously slow and incomplete, but when you look at how much they have evolved in the last century you can see that ideas and laws have evolved faster than ever before. I think that the United Nations as a forum has encouraged this evolution.
