Nobody wants a UN army. It was under consideration right from the

I very much agree with this. The UN should promise to defend any nation against any and all future attemps at agression providing that the nation is willing to donate its entire armed forces to the UN military and the same sum annually as upkeep costs of the previous year thereafter. After such an agreement any nation that failed to do likewise would be showing their future agressive intentions to all, whereby all passive nations would donate. World sanctions against those who failed to do so would ruin their economies and the UN would be able to use most of their military budget for non-military and more worthwhile causes such as building space settlements to assist human settlement thoughout our solar system.
