There's literally a politics.stackexchange now. Perhaps the real "loss of innocence" was the establishment of religion stackexchanges (possibly Judaism was first?), making politics and clashes inevitable.

> international agenda I am referring to is in particular United Nations' agenda 2030

This is conspiracist nonsense, attributing a bottom-up progressive movement to a top-down international organisation that actually isn't progressive at all (and is in fact dangerous to certain activists).

Your source [3] is not from the UN, and it's not about any UN body or program. It's written by an obscure outside group that wants to create a world parliament within the UN. It doesn't reflect on the UN in any way.

The UN is a body established by the victors in WWII to allow them to negotiate about - instead of fighting out - their conflicts. It's not a world government, a Communist plot, or social justice experiment. It's a forum for the major powers to regularly talk to one another, and to jointly oversee various treaties and programs they set up (like UNRWA).

WWII and the invention of the atom bomb convinced (almost) everyone that major powers should talk rather than fighting one another head-on. That's why the UN exists.
