The United Nations is a foundation that was founded in 1945, its only purpose is to create and maintain peace between countries that are in conflict. Since the year that the United Nations was created when there was just 50 countries as members, there are 193 members, all these countries have different economies and even their political system is very different. Many people argue that the United Nations have not been effective in its role. But, in my personal opinion I believe that the United Nations had been effective according to its role. There are three reasons why, those are; the United Nations had created international peace between different countries, the U.N had also, be very helpful for the good of the least developed countries, the
It had a lot of terms to try to maintain world peace. Cold war tensions between the USSR and the USA prevented a permanent UN force from being created. As an alternative, the UN decided to send temporary military forces into the world regional hotspots to keep the peace. Military officials were sent to the Pakistan-India region of Kashmir. The same action was taken the following month along the Arab-Israeli borders in Palestine.
Tensions in the 1960’s while President Kennedy was in office almost sent the two superpowers to war. This was called the Cuban Missile Crisis. Amidst the Cold War, the world needed to replace the League of Nations because it failed to prevent another world war. In 1945 the United Nations, UN for short, was created to make sure another global conflict will not happen again. So far it has been successful with the Security Council as the spearhead of this mission.
As the leader of the free world is it the obligation of the United States to pay its fair share of financial contribution to the United Nations. I say yes. Background and History Early UN Financial Problems In the early 1960’s when the United States maintained most of power in the General Assembly, the United States felt that it was their obligation to pay its dues and support the UN’s peacekeeping operations funding.
In order for UNHCR to carry through with its statelessness mandate, it has been assigned with the mission of protecting and assisting stateless populations, providing advanced legal and humanitarian aid especially in cases where the States concerned fail to do so. Through a series of Conclusions, the UNGA reiterates the UNHCR’s mandate to identify, prevent and reduce statelessness around the world and calls on the agency to work closely with Governments in order to provide technical support and to encourage States to accede to the Statelessness Conventions. UNHCR is also sharing important data, shedding light on statelessness as a whole. Positively, the agency is doing significant work on gathering statistics and reporting on the numbers
Understanding one of the biggest drawbacks to UNISOM I was its lack of manpower, the United Nations garrisoned 22,000 troops and 8,000 logistic and civilian staff in Mogadishu. Much of UNISOM II’s early accomplishments were achieved with little resistance from the local citizens. This changed when in June of 1993
Amnesty international, a human rights organization, has released a report entitled "By hook or by crook". Documented between 2013 and 2015, the report finds the Australian government to be bribing crew members to disembark the passengers away from Australia. The report entails personal accounts from asylum-seekers, crew members, and the Indonesian police. The abuse evinced in the report show Australian officials intercepting a boat, boarded by asylum-seekers, and the transaction of $32,000 and maps for the destination to be directed to Indonesia. Amnesty International was able to interview the six crew members who were arrested for people smuggling, and learned that they had been directly told to land on Rote Island.
Institutions are bodies that can set out rules that can influence interactions. The United Nations played a big role in the Iraq-US war because the United States was hoping to get support from leaders in the United Nations to go to war with Iraq. Also as stated earlier, the game of cat and mouse between the UN and Iraq helped perpetuate Iraq as a powerful threat that could threaten world powers. These two instances led to many countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Japan. With this much support the U.S. was able to invade Iraq and the decisions was more logical as they had way more backing.
Globalization is a massive thing that affects every person on the planet in one way or another. This source raises the argument that globalization is a disease that harms people in more ways then it helps and needs to be stopped before it wipes out the human race. This raises a good point is some ways because globalization does harm humans in many way such as losing jobs due to outsourcing and the people who get the outsourced jobs are put into horrible working conditions and underpaid without benefits. But it also helps in some ways with trade and communication strengthening the relations of countries. I do agree with the source that globalization harms many people but not quite to the extent that the author goes to, I think that
Moreover, Joseph Desiree Mobutu occupied the role of military totalitarian as well as that of President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (which he later retitled Zaire in 1971) as of 1965 to 1997.

Self-determination is a process of national consciousness by which a group of people choose their own government. The principle of self-determination refers to the right of a people to determine their own political destiny. Self-determination as a political force in international society is a relatively recent phenomenon. As a political principle this idea evolved as a result of the doctrine of nationalism which was presented by French and American revolutions. In aftermath of World War 1 and breaking up of the Ottoman Empire and Austro Hungarian empires the national groups demanded divide of territory, WW1 Allies accepted self-determination as a peace aim.
For several decades various cultures have been rich with history and traditions that transcended time. However these cultures go through very dark times such as genocide. Genocide is the deliberate killing of a large group of people, specifically those of a particular ethnic group or nation. On one hand neutrality is a positive alternative of genocide because if a country stays neutral, that country would likely have peace. On the other hand being a bystander or being neutral is letting thousands of innocent lives die at your hands.

American musician, songwriter, arranger, record producer, radio disc jockey and actor Steven Van Zandt stated in his interview 'Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It's like a highly specialized army unit, or a winning sports team. A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart' (Zandt, 2003). Let's start with the fact that NATO was originally created not only for the purpose of containing the Soviet Union, but also it was used as an instrument for cooperation with key European countries and also to prevent the resurgence of Nazism and to ensure the growth of the political integration of Europe.
THE ROLE OF HUMANITARIAN AID IN FUELLING THE CONFLICT IN THE DRC Introduction Humanitarian aid, currently more often referred to as Official Development Assistance (ODA), has become a massive global enterprise involving hundreds of aid agencies and non-governmental organizations spread around the world’s war-torn regions. However, since the late 1990’s, there has been an ongoing debate about the role of humanitarian aid in conflicts. While aid agencies have the image of protecting the weak and vulnerable in conflict, there is increasing discussion about their role; conscious or unconscious, in fuelling and prolonging conflicts; making a bad situation worse for those they aim to protect. Therefore, the system is deeply flawed, international
