This is my take on this issue!
The un in my opinion, has become a paper tiger! What was once a noble idea, is slowly sinking into the abyss! It's original design was meant to bring the world together on major issues and leave the option for war as the last card to be played! As my understanding of it is( trying to keep this simple), at the time of it's creation it was pure and simple and left alot of issues unresolved to be settled over time. unfortunately, time had been cruel and the un had soon found itself in the midst of the cold war! Instead of resolving conflicts, it had simply found itself being used by power politics to frustrate other nations national intrests! And just because the cold war has ended, the UN has now found itself just like it was during the cold war. WEAK!
And unless it can reinvent itself, for better or for worse the UN will find itself slowly sinking into the abyss of history!
If anybody has different a observation than mine, let me hear them for it helps us all to increase our knowledge! - panther |
