SUMMARY:
For this assignment, I will describe the main international institutions by giving a description of what they are and how they operate. I will then explain how they are structured and governed and I will give some details about how they form and evolved. In my assignment, I will also include some case studies operated by these institutions and their consequences. Finally, I will explain the impact of these institutions on UK Public Services.

UNITED NATIONS
DESCRIPTION: The United Nations is an international organization established to promote intercontinental support. Therefore, the main role of the United Nations is to maintain international peace and security, to develop friendly relations among nations, to promote respect for human rights and to coordinate aid in disaster situations and to provide help on global issues such as drug trafficking and the environment.
STRUCTURE: The UN today has 192 Member States who express their opinions through the following institutions. They are all located in New York:
• The General Assembly debates issues and recommends actions.
• The Security Council authorizes economic and military actions in settling
The UN has an agreement with all other nation states to not get in conflict with each other and to settle differences in meetings to prevent another world war. It also makes them stronger as a
The United Nations General Assembly is the primary assemblage of the United Nations.[1] It has 193 part nations, all of which share an equivalent vote on recommendations called "resolutions". This appears to be
The United Nations is a global organization that works to help governments solve problems by finding agreements. It was founded in 1945 on the idea of promoting peace and human rights. There are 193 member states of the United Nations today that all help to work towards the common goal of eliminating issues of humanity. The UN makes decisions through the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, and more. The General Assembly is the only UN body that represents all member states. Each year a general debate is held where questions on security, peace, admission of new members, etc. are discussed to come to a solution or agreement. More complex situations such as questions on, peace and security, admission of new members and budget specificities must be a two-thirds majority vote to pass, but simpler questions pass by simple majority. The UN gives each member state a vote because of the universal representation that the General Assembly provides. Therefore, the topics voted on are a shared agreement as each of the member states understands that
In 1945, The Second World War (WW2) that was a largest one in human history was finished. In the same year, the United Nations (UN) was established on the initiative of the United States and the Allied Powers as a place that all countries in the world can assemble with the reflection and the hope for the future not to repeat the tragedy of WW2. The UN is in its 70th year since it was established and it signifying no major war have not occurred for the past 70 years. Since the establishment, the UN has lasted as the largest international organization and the member states increased from 51 to 193 and most of all nations are studded. The mission and work of the United Nations are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding
An increase in technology as well as rising globalization has brought the world closer together in a way, and this has created a need for states to become more interdependent of one another. For example, an economic decline in China could have negative impact on the economy of North American countries. In the same way, a communist revolution in one country could result in communist revolutions in neighboring countries as well. The point is that since countries are now so closely connected to one another, international organizations are needed in order to maintain rules and
Views on the United Nations range from a great step forward in world peace to an abomination disgracing the name of peace, but the majority believes the former statement; since the day of its inauguration, April 25, 1945(“History of the United Nations”). The United Nations has been a force for peace and justice for all peoples around the world. The United Nations uses its power to help all people through all of the organizations that it has created for different problems that spring up around the world. There are naysayers to any achievement, but none can disagree that the United Nations has been a force for peace and justice ever since its creation in 1945.
The United Nations was formed upon the agreement with the sovereign nations and its frontiers conceded with the Charter. After the end of the cold war, there has been a burden on the United Nations about solving different problems of diverse nature as well as of diverse geographies. UN has been making efforts to challenge those problems through the use of reforms. There are some of the activities which are imperative to be implemented but still due to some constraints have not been. Some of them are Secretariat re-organization, re-defining of the priorities and the re-structuring of the inter-governmental procedures. Whenever a member state is not able to handle some problem, it reaches to the UN which is a global organization
The idea of the United Nations was comprised in 1943 but officially declared as an organisation in 1945. In modern times the number of countries that have joined the UN has vastly increased. The UN is charged with upholding international laws and human rights as well as ensuring world wide security, economic development and social advancement. Over the following years this has increased the amount of rights an individual has. As more and more countries joined the UN in order to be a part of universal; “models and prescriptions about how to organise national populations on the basis of individual citizenship, further delegitimising the
For instance, it functions as a response to problems of incomplete information, transaction costs and other barriers to improve the efficiency and welfare for their members (Barnett & Finnemore, 1999). The concept of powerful international organizations also can be found from professor Weiler (2003), international organizations have increasingly themselves interpreted their powers in an expansive manner that blurs the role of State consent, and States have increasingly conferred broader public powers of governance on international organizations. There is no doubt that international organizations have taken a deeper role in international relation, but it has different degrees of influence toward small nation states and big countries. In order to have a clearer picture of international organization’s influence in international relations, the essay is divide in two part. First, it comments on small nation-state would be largely affected by
pressure on the policy process in the UK merely by suggesting that they will relocate.
1. Intergovernmental organizations, or IGOs, are players in the international setting, attempting to establish common grounds between the different members, or in other words countries involved (Rourke and Boyer 2010, G-6). Examples of IGOs include the following: “United Nations, European Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the African Union” (Wilkinson 2007). Non-governmental international organizations, or NGOs, attempt to make substantial changes and promote their specific values to certain aspects of the world, like human rights issues and the environment, by utilizing their non-association with the government and their NGO status with special access to the media and diplomatic measures (Steinberg 2011, 44; Steinberg
The United Nations have had a hard time trying to perform all of these tasks because of the way that it is set up. The UN has five permanent members, the United States, Russia, China, France, and Britain. All of the permanent members are able to veto any resolutions that are presented to the UN Security Council. This means that for a resolution to pass, no permanent member can veto the resolution, and to get all members to agree is not a simple task.
It is currently made up of 193 Member States. The mission and work of the United Nations are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter.” (un.org) it is an outlet for each country to talk and resolve issues both globally and within their own states. While some states propose bills that would help end the terror in France the UN collectively shoots them down claiming that any move against a religion based terror organization is a human right violation and is blatant discrimination. This prevents actual action against those that want to commit harm against the people of France.
When it comes to public international law, intergovernmental companies turn out to be an important aspect. These organizations are created by treaty. The treaty acts as a charter that makes up the group. During the formation of treaties, governments of many states (lawful representatives) undergo the process of ramification. This process of ramification gives the intergovernmental companies an international legal personality. In a legal sense, intergovernmental companies need to be distinguished from simple coalition or grouping of states, such as the Quartet or G8. Simple coalitions or grouping have not been created by a constituent document. They are only present as task groups.
