That's like saying the ECHR is useless when it's the only one available.
It doesn't become usless or redundant until there's something better to replace it.
You might not take courts seriously, but your bound by them, as you've found out when you've been specifically bound by them.

UN bodies, including the General Assembly, lack the power to enforce their decisions. Their resolutions are considered "recommendations" or "soft law"

Anonymous bets hours before attacks on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Khamenei have raised concerns of insider trading.

Over the weekend, a Polymarket user known as “Magamyman” reportedly made more than $500,000 in a single day with a bet on US–Israel strikes that Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would be out of power, raising concerns of insider trading. Mike Levin, a Democratic representative from California, highlighted on the social media platform X that this user bought in on the position when the probability of a strike was at 17 percent and with the first trade placed 71 minutes before the news broke publicly.

Other users named “Planktonbet,” “Dicedicedice,” and “nothingeverhappens911” also placed bets within 24 hours of the strike on the potential of a US strike, according to data compiled by analytics firm Bubblemap. All accounts were opened in February and exclusively placed bets on Iran.

This echoes past incidents that spooked lawmakers amid concerns of profiteering from war and of potential insider trading.

It wouldn't surprise me at all.
Anyone shorting a decent amount of stocks on Friday, and buying them back yesterday would have made a killing.
They could probably have increased their holding by about 30%. When the market recovers, they could sell of that additional 30% for profit.

Good for them. We pay over a billion pounds a month in public money to foreign parasites living here, many of which have the vote.
