The United Nations

The United Nations is an organization established 24 October 1945. It was a replacement for the League of Nations. The UN was created following the Second World War to prevent another such conflict. The organization is financed by giving its member states a substantial fee. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.

The United Nations is an international organization created after World War II. The United Nations was created with the purpose of preventing another world war; the Allies created the organization after defeating the Axis powers: Germany, Japan and Italy. The U.N established a Security Council that consisted of the war’s winners, including the United States, Great Britain, France, China and Russia. Since the war, there has not been a major conflict between the world powers. In addition, the quality of life for billions around the globe has improved because of capitalism/western influence. Even though the U.N. has been successful at maintaining peace between major powers, the success has not been the same with respect underdeveloped

The United Nations was created in a time of uneasy peace between the nations of

The United Nations has not banished repression or poverty from the Earth, but it has advanced the cause of freedom and prosperity on every continent. The United Nations has not been all that we wished it would be, but it has been a force for good and a bulwark against evil.

The United Nations contains hundreds of world leaders and was founded after World War I to prevent future conflicts. They also try to solve world issues from world hunger to a much more narrowed problems.

The United Nations, like the League of Nations, was created to support peace and human rights. Also it’s establishment promoted peacekeeping and world wide stability. Although the creation of the U.N. was major, the Cold War between America and Russia tore relations with the two countries apart

“The United Nations (UN) is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, and achieving world peace. The UN was founded in 1945 after World War II to replace the League of Nations, to stop wars between countries and to provide a platform for dialogue” .

The United Nations was founded in 1945, after World War II had ended. its objectives were to maintain international peace and security, promote human rights, foster social and economic development, protect the environment, and provide humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.  But the principal purpose was to prevent another war from happening. This is an extremely important factor in history because this organization has been successful thus far in keeping the member nations united and in line.

The world has advanced over the centuries. To ensure progression and growth, society must embrace organizations which support improving the quality of human life. The United Nations is one such organization that has ensured the well-being of the human race by collaborating internationally on how to tactically approach conflicts. From combating terrorism to eradicating smallpox, the United Nations has resolved numerous foreign issues and international crises. The creation of the United Nations continues to be critical because the organization is a fundamental necessity for global peace, good relations, and development.

The United Nations has been effective to a certain extent in providing resolutions to threats of world order. Its structure and functioning was designed to curtail the negative effects of globalisation, such as the spread of transnational threats, and to grant peace and security. The Charter of the United Nations with a purpose to strive for peace and security and act in a manner that reduces threats established the UN in 1945. Specifically through the establishment of the UN refugee agency it has been effective in responding to the threat of increasing refugees in Syria by providing humanitarian assistance. Additionally, it is the strongest, wide reaching and well respected global peace initiative as it retains support and commitment from

The United Nations, often shortened to UN, is an intergovernmental organization, (IGO). The UN’s purpose, as it was originally intended in its creation in 1945, is to “provide a global institutional structure through which states can sometimes settle conflicts with less reliance on the use of force”, as according to our Pearson Revel e-textbook. In the context of the time in which it was created, this purpose was aimed towards preventing another hegemonic/total war from occurring again. The 51 states gathering in San Francisco to create the UN put forward their founding document- the UN Charter. This document, according to Pearson Revel, is based on the principles that states are equal, have sovereignty over their own affairs, enjoy independence and territorial integrity, and fulfill international obligations. The Charter also lays out the structure and the methods of the UN. In this structure is the UN General Assembly, (a body comprising of all current 193 states), the UN Security Council, (a body of five great powers that sit permanently and ten rotating members), the Secretariat, (the UN’s executive branch, led by the Secretary-General), and the World Court, (the judicial branch of the UN).

The United Nations was made in light of extraordinary objectives. Dreams of radiance and world peace moved before it's originators' eyes. They made this global gathering of talk and legitimate issues to spare future eras from war, advance human rights, (for example, the nobility and worth of an individual, and equivalent privileges of the genders). They looked for equity. They looked for worldwide law. They looked for admiration for settlements.

The United Nations was formed in 1945 after World War II, it has 192 member nations, and it was made to prevent any future wars. The U.N. maintains international peace and security, protects human rights, deliver aid to people that need help, and they uphold international laws. They have accomplished some of these things, but they have also had their share of mistakes. The U.N. has many strengths, but is also has many weaknesses.

“ Here is a task truly of, by and for the world, one that should rally nations. The nature of this task however, must be clearly understood; only then can suitable means for accomplishing it be formulated, only then can the role that the United Nations could and should play be appreciated” ( Wilcox/Haviland, 29). There are many international organizations that have been talked about throughout this semester. One of the most important ones is The United Nations. The United Nations was established October 24, 1945, and has since then been impacting the country. The United Nations main purpose according to the lecture notes is “ to provide a global additional structure through which states can sometimes settle conflicts with less reliance on the use of force , for whole purpose of the United Nations is to provide the globe a forum by which countries may settle disputes through this forum peacefully as opposed to relying on a force which has been the case historically” ( Kopalyan, Module 8). Thus meaning The United Nations was set up to handle problems peacefully rather than going to war to try and solve problems. “Powerful economic as well as political forces are at work to bring about a growing integration of the world community, and the United Nations and its related agencies are uniquely fitted to assist in the task” (Wilcox/Haviland,45). This was some of the reason that the United Nations was created.

The United Nations is widely regarded and respected as the most powerful institution that promotes international cooperation and human rights action. In theory, actions implemented by and within the United Nations are based on the mutual global goal of protecting international human rights and preventing human sufferings. These actions are constituted through three main mechanisms: the Treaty-based system, the Human Rights Council, and Security Council and Humanitarian Interventions, with the level of confrontation and seriousness in each mechanism increases respectively. While aimed to serve the mutual goal of protecting human rights over the world and have shown some successes, in a world of sovereignty, actions when implemented are in fact grounded by the national interests of each state, including embracing its national sovereignty, concreting its strategic relationships with other states, and enhancing its reputation in the international community. This paper will analyze the successes and failures of each of the three mechanisms of the United Nations regime, through which it aims to prove that when it comes to actions, states focus more on their national, and in some cases, regional interests than on the mutual goal of strengthening human rights throughout the world, thus diminishing the legitimacy of the whole United Nations system.
