You'd enjoy it here in SA; in September 2001 around 15 000 people 
protested *against* the UN at the World Conference Against Racism (in 
Durban) because of inadequate positions on reparations and Zionism.

In August 2002, around 25 000 people protested against the World Summit 
on Sustainable Development in Joburg largely because the UN was ganging 
up with imperial/subimperial states and corporations to promote 
privatisation and otherwise ignore the pressing ecological and social 
problems faced by the masses.

There was, I recall, a small anarchist contingent at both; they try hard 
but we've not yet had a black bloc. There's a red carpet for you to come 
try!
