The Pros And Cons Of UN Peacekeeping
The UN under the guise of being peacekeepers, have used their position to drive chaos and fear; ergo, the UN is a criminal organization (e.g., human trafficking, corruption, terror). UN peacekeepers are essentially free to get away with terrible crimes because they know this jurisdictional gap provides them with impunity. I am of the opinion, that it would behoove the United States to defund specific UN departments and organizations; ergo, the UN needs to quit treating D.C. as a sugar daddy. They have outlived their once useful purpose and now resort to an entrenched, complicit role with corruption and terror. The UN argues that they are all we have and if this is the case, then it is time to employ changes. It is time to awaken from our

    Human Rights Dbq Analysis

    To elaborate, despite the UN’s clear outline as to what constitutes a genocide, the UN refused to provide help to the Cambodians who were being “...executed in the hundreds of thousands…” due to the fact that they were considered “intellectuals” (Doc 4). This illustrates how the UN disregarded their proclamation of what defines a genocide, and would not react against the apparent human-right violations, as well as the mass killings caused by Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge. Furthermore, the UN would not intervene with the Rwandan genocide, in which Hutu extremists brutally slaughtered the majority of the Tutsi population; the UN decided to “[not] reinforce the small and lightly armed UN blue helmets already in Rwanda…”(Doc 7). The withdrawal of funds and supportive equipment for the Rwandan UN soldiers goes to show that the UN refused to acknowledge the atrocious genocide that was taking place in Rwanda. It also illustrates that the United Nations acted as more of a peanut gallery by pleading ignorance than a peace group that halts genocidal…

    Canada's Role in Peacekeeping

    Canada's long experience in peace missions puts our military in high demand when an crisis state arises. Undeniably, in many ways the Canadian Forces members who participate in international peace and humanitarian support efforts act as Canada's ambassadors; the face of our country in places of turmoil. These men and women provide a range of expertise and using both the skills of war and the skills of peace which enables them to able to fulfill a wide variety of important tasks. However, serving on a peace mission is dangerous. The Canadian Forces members who participated in helping to bring about the end of conflict and ease the suffering of people in East Timor put their lives on the line. Our neighbors witnessed humanity at its worst in Rwanda. Our siblings held back hellish mobs to restore order in Cyprus. Our co-workers sought out those wishing to harm the innocent in Afghanistan. Our teachers defended those caught in the crossfire of bloody civil war in the Former Yugoslavia. Our friends safeguarded the rights of the individual in Somalia. Our mothers and fathers curbed the spread of tyranny in the Gulf War. These heroic displays of fortitude across the globe has given Canada a name for itself in the realm of war and peacekeeping. However, approximately 125 Canadians have died in the course of peace support missions overseas, paying the final price in their efforts to help the people in these strife-torn lands. Many more have been injured in these efforts.…

    The Pros And Cons Of The United Nations Initiatives

    Regardless of the United States endorsement of the United Nations Resolution 181, their official position was of neutrality. Furthermore a US citizen providing material aid to the newly formed Jewish State was considered an act of treason. When the United States turned a blind eye, and even threatened to prosecute anyone who followed their moral compass by providing aid, by all accounts should have doomed the country whose very right to exist has become one of the greatest international relations dilemmas of modern history. The question is why the United States, the beacon of hope and new economic, military superpower would stand by and do nothing for what would become its greatest ally in the Middle East during its most perilous time, how…

    The Importance Of Canadian Peacekeeping

    Canada is a Peacekeeper because basically Canada has helped and supported through multiple terrorist attacks, Canada being apart of the United Nations plus NATO shows that Canada can be a Peacekeeper. Canada has been in the United Nations group since 1945, and still continues in the United Nations group today.(NATO 2013) To show Canada is a peacekeeper an example is the Bosnian conflict, Rwanda, Suez Crisis and the Israel-Palestine conflict and how they had a big help and support during these multiple conflicts. Canada supports multiple nations with support for multiple things for example, war, peacekeeping missions, (etc). Canada serves as a peacekeeper and as a warrior depending on the conflict that lies ahead of them.…

    It is a position of delegation, whereby Ban must challenge those Member States with disagreeing views and speak and act for peace during times of warfare and risk. Last week, on September 8th 2014, Ban expressed his thoughts on the Responsibility to Protect: “The world faces a series of conflicts that feature acts that shock the global conscience... Turning a blind eye to these acts is no longer tenable.” The United Nations was established in October 1945 to promote international co-operation, human rights, advancing social and economic development, humanitarian aid in deprivation, natural disaster and armed conflict, largely based on the prevention of another conflict similar to the Second World War.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Humanitarian Intervention

    Humanitarian intervention had better be avoided because it is difficult for foreigners to enforce human rights”. Liberals argue that states are recognized by the knowledgeable consent of their citizens argued that fairness could only be established by a local struggle for liberty.

    Humanitarian Intervention: Calling on the United Nations for Help

    The United Nations is an international organization that fights for world peace, and strives to control international law, international security, economic development, social progress, and human rights. In the United Nation’s preamble, it states the organization is “determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war…” and “…to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.” However, the U.N. can often be ineffective and it has been an ongoing debate between the world’s leaders whether or not intervention is justified when inhumane acts are committed in foreign lands. Too many human beings have been victims of violence, rape and/or other crimes on the U.N.’s watch all because the organization is not authorized to forcefully intervene in another country. The United Nations Security Council is responsible for preserving peace between nations and even within nations, and when a nation is committing atrocious acts against its citizens, the U.N. and other nations should have the right to intervene militarily to end those abuses.…

    Pros And Cons Of Humanitarian Intervention

    Watanabe Koji When a massive and systematic violation of basic human rights is committed by the authorities of one state, can other states intervene forcefully to halt the violation? Since the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation’s (NATO’s) military intervention in Kosovo in 1999, the issue of what is now commonly called humanitarian intervention has become one of the most contentious subjects in managing contemporary international relations. Conspicuous in the argument on Kosovo has been the fact that most Asian countries were opposed to, or reluctant to endorse, the use of force by NATO against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The Force, Intervention, and Sovereignty Project grew out of the recognition…

    The Ineffectiveness of the UN Human Rights Committee

    The United Nations has played a crucial role in the international system since its beginning. It has been the main place where leaders from around the globe can communicate and work out issues. Its charter is admirable and includes goals, such as “saving future generations from the scourge of war has brought untold sorrow to mankind." The United Nations creates rules against violence, issues sanctions, and plays a peacekeeping/diplomatic role by creating ‘space’ between conflicted countries. It also helps countries raise their standard of living, creates jobs, and delivers aid to victims of natural disasters or war. The human rights and relief programs that the UN has initiated or supported are impressive indeed.…

    Following World War I and World War II, the globe was left in pieces. The earth was in dire need of a superhero; one that would be able to solve all of the world problems through diplomacy and remedy the tribulations surrounding the League of Nations. The superhero went by the name of the United Nations, an organization which was created in order to promote peace and prevent war. After the inception of the United Nations, conflict resumed very shortly. As of now, the United Nations symbolizes a meaningless organization that has failed many times in deterring war, human rights violations and genocide. However through reform the United Nations, can once again be the superhero, it was intended to be.…

    Pros And Cons Of Humanitarian Intervention

    Even so, humanitarian intervention has been a hard test for the international community, because apparently goes against the core principles of non-intervention and state sovereignty expressed in the articles 2(7) and 2(4) of the Charter. Unfortunately the raison d’être of such scepticism underlies concrete mistakes of the UNSC and plausible misinterpretations around the use of force.…
