The UN's influence sources

The first source I looked at was from a site called "vault nine". This source has no credibility whatsoever. It is a forum where anyone can voice their thoughts and opinions. This means the uneducated, racist, and insane can write about their take on the UN's influence on the world. Obviously, this source can not be used because of its lack of credibility.

The next source was the Foreign Policy bulletin written by the U.S. Dept of State. This source had more credibility than the first. The only problem that it has is that it is slightly biased. Because it is coming from the government of a country that is very involved in the topic, the UN's influence, and who is criticized often for its inability to be influenced by the UN, the source is not extremely credible.

My last source was the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It is extremely credible. The article lists facts solely and thus the information cannot be disproved.
