It has also been suggested the UN must move from New York and possibly have headquarters based in different world cities for fixed terms . It cannot afford to be seen as "Washingtoncentric " and its financing must be much more diversified as Washington has too much control over its financing.
Gromyko insisted that UN HQ be in New York (where he went to school, BTW) to counter US's usual drift into isolationism. Naturally, USA should be a major contributor to UN funding since being supposedly "world's richest nation," but of course, US funds nothing without strings attached.
I respect what you are trying to accomplish here, but I think you are overlooking some things:
"The Security Council will have the power to call any offending nation to the floor of the General Assembly to explain to the world how they intend to provide peace, order and good governance in lands they control; otherwise, they immediately lose sovereignty and become dependencies of the UN."
Any nation that agrees to the paragraph above has already forfeit their sovereignty, they are subjects of the UN. It will be hard to get all nations to agree to this. Unfortunately the proposed solution requires that all parties agree on something. It doesn't matter what that something is, it could be agreeing to be subjects of the UN, or it could be agreeing that nuclear weapons should be abolished.
All experience has shown that no such agreement will materialize naturally. It will have to be coerced. And since humans are known to be fickle and dishonest, all parties will need to have their anti-nuclear devotion & dedication frequently re-assessed.
Any non-compliant parties must be immediatly subdued with overwhelming violence. That is the reality, I don't think there is any other way.
Additionally a global brainwashing campaign needs to be implemented. This should be designed to minimize the risk of new leaders starting their own covert nuclear weapons program.
This re-education/disinformation campaign will need to continue indefinately. It is key that this program really works, otherwise someone will covertly develop nuclear arms & usurp your authority.
Unfortunately, you are not wrong. The "brainwashing" campaign was attempted thousands of years ago with the Ten Commandments, the most foundational rules for establishing an enduring civilization. People rejected that yet tried to build civilization anyway, resulting in the present mess where murder and theft still haunt us even in person-to-person relations. Yes, changing that requires all humans to d/l a new OS.
What I'm trying to say, is, what if: All nations could just agree that sovereignty is is an attribute that is conferred upon a nation by the community at large, rather than being taken by force from the commons (or from neighbors). Then you need nuclear weapons for what? Isn't this advantageous for all involved? Yes, there needs to be a revision of thought process, that's what the Great Mindshift is about https://kathleenmccroskey.substack.com/p/a-review-of-the-great-mindshift ... Will there always be "bad actors" (usually men) - I suppose, but what good outcome will come from such people? Is Peace just not possible on The War Planet? Cannot the huge waste of material, human labor and social capital be put to better purpose than building weapons? "Come now, and let us reason together” (Isaiah 1:18) We must find a better way, before a certain fool pushed that button...

Plan:
1. UN proposes all nuclear powers destroy all of their nuclear weapons.
2. need a de-centralized (think anonymous hacker group) group of assassins kills world leaders that disagree with step 1 above.

This sounds like a dystopian nightmare.
Please tell I'm wrong.

I can support this.
Thank you, Ted! We must do something about better governance on this, The War Planet, which, viewed from a distance apparently has no civilization.
