If it's worked well to OoBK, UFN is an easy task for him.
If he kill Schniezel, it'll justify that Schniezel is true.
If he geassing Schniezel, it won't make any differences but time that judged everything again.

Lelouch could just set the record straight very easily. Schneizel was able to fool the Black Knights with the help of that gullible idiot Ohgi and his dubious floozy, Villetta, while Lelouch was out. It also helped that neither Xing-ke nor Kaguya of the UFN were there, as they would have called BS on Schneizel, so the UFN is a non-example.

If Lelouch is managed to live and being a good leader.
Will he be able to live without accusations ?
OoBK clearly judge him as the one who guilt. It's not an easy life.
Proving you're a good guy everyday, is that called life ?

It's as I mentioned. Lelouch could easily explain himself. Kaguya, for one, still trusted that he would do the right thing until he declared war on the UFN in Turn 22. Not to mention that many of the BKs themselves were anything but saints, as they proved with the betrayal, which they did behind the UFN's backs.

If Brittania is still exist by his lead.
Will the world really change just by abolishing Numbers ? Will the war really ended ?
That's why the words is "Break the chain of hatred"
Making sure the new world have no accusations toward each other.

Now that's where Zero Requiem is a utopian load of bollocks. Human nature does not exist in a vacuum. People will find other reasons to fight against one another. Ozymandias tried that sort of thing in the Watchmen, and it only worked for like 6 years.

Lelouch said this in Ragnarok Connection,
"The world that Nunnally wants is a world without accusations toward each other."

He reached this by Zero Requiem.
As well as fulfilling Suzaku and Kallen wish as his main goal.

It's the Guidebook that the one said "the main goal is an atonement."
Lelouch who wants to live, atone his sins through death.
Suzaku who wants to die, atone his sins through live.

Until the very end, Suzaku still insists, "Are you really want to do this ?"
It's not about running away anymore.
At first, it maybe a coward's way.
But it comes into a good resolution, even after he knew Nunnally is still alive.

But still, the ends justify everything.

No one complaining about what happens to Mt. Fuji in CG realm.
It's Lelouch the Demon Emperor who destroy it. He's a demon. That's all.
If there's any excuse, everything will be wrote in a History book and explained through a History subject at school.

We-- the watchers are the one complaining because we knew that Sakuradite is supplying 70% worlds energy and luckily, we're not watching it in the battlefield itself

There's a trope for what happened with Mt. Fuji, and it's called No Endor Holocaust. By all rights the detonation should have killed many lives and caused a ton of environmental destruction across Japan. We don't see anyone complaining because the story handwaves it.

If you read Mutuality, you'll see that he was despondent over Nunnally's apparent demise. Also, and this is important, when Suzaku asks him whether there are other methods for taking care of Schneizel and achieving peace, he confirms that there are. The atonement through death simply doesn't make sense because of everything he's doing to get there, from brainwashing mooks, putting masks on them and treating them as cannon fodder. He also assassinated many rebelling families, who C. C. noted had a right to object to him taking their status away. All of this was far worse than what Lelouch was supposedly atoning for.

Not to mention, of course, that unsatisfyingly, people responsible for either the betrayal or the strife that he was trying to STOP, such as Ohgi, Villetta and Cornelia, walked away with reasonably happy endings.
