The United Nations was established at the conclusion of World War Two to prevent war in the future and allow well being and freedom to all people. It is made up of representatives from all over the world. Australia was involved in the United Nations from their establishment. H.V Evatt who was an Attorney General and Minister for External Affairs in the Chifley government assisted to write…
The United Nations first came into being in 1945 as an organisation dedicated to the maintenance of world peace and security. Being one of its founding members, Australia has committed troops to over 20 UN peacekeeping operations and supports the UN by consenting to treaties, contributing to UN discussions involving the Australian nation and providing its troops at the UN’s disposal.…

The united nations, a union of countries founded in 1948 have strived to achieve rights for all of civilisation through the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’, over the course of its founding it has achieved this goal in substantial ways, allowing for individual freedom and liberty of children previously enslaved, discriminated and stripped of rights. But has also been unsuccessful to promote and allow freedom for the many people still stripped of their rights in countries that are a part of its organisation.…
Finally established on October 24, 1945, The United Nations was the spiritual successor to the failed League of Nations (Histoire). The intention of the United Nations what prevent conflicts between nations such as another World War. The main advancement that the United Nations had over the League of Nations was the Security Council, which consisted of five permanent countries that keep "primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security”, which basically means that they can use soldiers as a way to prevent conflict…
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 United Nations organization was organized by the Soviet Union, US, and UK in 1945. The purpose of this organization was to prevent war, prevent suffering, and help in case of a…
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…
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.…
The United Nations, (UN) was originally established in 1945 for the purpose to “maintain international peace and security…to cooperate in solving international economic, social, cultural and humanitarian problems…and to be a centre for harmonising the actions of nations in attaining these ends.” In assessing whether or not the UN is an effective organisation, it is essential to acknowledge several important features of the establishment. The UN and its organs, to what extent it has failed or succeeded, how heavily the organisation relies upon funding and cooperation of member states, the importance of the Security Council, and constraints that all these factors put on the establishment.…
In addition to maintaining peace, the UN aims to protect human rights and provide humanitarian assistance when needed. In 1948, the General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a standard for its human rights operations. The UN currently provides technical assistance in elections, helps to improve judicial structures and draft constitutions, trains human rights officials, and provides food, drinking water, shelter, and other humanitarian services to peoples displaced by famine, war, and natural disaster.…
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.…
In 1948 the United Nations (UN) was developed after moral outrage created a desire throughout the world to construct a document to safeguard fundamental human rights. The document was an attempt to articulate the rights violated during world war two (WWII) and to prevent such atrocities from happening ever again. They called the document the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UNDHR). The UNDHR was born out of the experiences of WWII, it stands as a beacon of mankind. However the UN does not have to power to enforce the protection of human rights therefor there is still evidence or human rights being eroded and violated in todays society. The UN and the UNDHR needs to become enforceable in all areas of our world to save millions of people who are in irrepressible suffrage.…
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.…
