I can't understand why the great objection to
the United Nations. After all the United Nations
provides a forum for world opinion and a
mechanism for conflict resolution. Alongside
that there is a growing body of international law
that specifies the rights and obligations that nations
have towards one another - particularly with respect
to aggression.

Over the years the United Nations has intervened
successfully in a number of wars - in Korea and the
Middle East and in several situations that may have
led to war(for example in the superpower crisis
involving Cuba and Berlin).

A major difficulty with international peace making, of course,
is that compliance with the resolutions of the United
Nations and the rulings of its world court are voluntary,
for not country is willing to surrender its sovereignty
to an international body. The United Nations is most
effective when superpowers are able to agree on a course of
action and mobilize their blocs to support it.

Even so, the organisation provides an influential
forum for world opinion, and while it does not always
prevent war, it surely helps make it less likely.

579>> Ttbn So what are the major faults of the UN.<<

Let me educate you 579.
The United Nations Security Council consists of fifteen nations, five of which are permanent: The other ten nations are elected to serve two-year terms. The five permanent members enjoy the luxury of veto power; Even if the other fourteen nations vote yes, a single veto will beat this overwhelming show of support.

In 1970, the nuclear non-proliferation treaty was signed by 190 nations. Despite this treaty, nuclear stockpiles remain high, and numerous nations continue to develop these devastating weapons, including North Korea, Israel, Pakistan, and India. The failure of the non-proliferation treaty details the ineffectiveness of the United Nations,

Sri Lanka experienced a civil war lasting from 1983 to 2009. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon acknowledged being “appalled” by the situation. From January to April of 2009, over 6,500 civilians were killed in the so-called U. N. “safe-zone”.

Child rape: Reports from Bosnia, Kosovo, Cambodia, Haiti, and Mozambique. Areas with peacekeeping forces saw a rapid rise in child prostitution. Often, U.N.soldiers would reward the children with candy or small sums of money, so they could claim the sexual relationship was prostitution rather than rape. Senior officials in the United Nations refused to condemn the peacekeepers.

Srebrenica safe-zone, Serbian forces invaded the area. Despite the UN peacekeeping force present, Serbian soldiers entered the camp, raping Bosniak women and murdering freely while the Dutch peacekeepers did nothing. By July 18th, 7,800 Bosniaks were dead

The United Nations recognized the Khmer Rouge as the true government of Cambodia, despite the fact that they had killed 2.5 million Cambodians, amounting to 33% of their total population.

In 2003, Sudan erupted in conflict. By 2005, the Janjaweed were carrying out attacks on populated villages prompting condemnation by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. Despite this condemnation, the UN did not enter Sudan. It was not until 2006 tha UN soldiers were dispatched to the area. Despite their presence, fighting continued until 2010. In seven years, an estimated 300,000 Sudanese civilians were killed.

The Rwandan genocide of 1994 details the gross inability of the United Nations to carry out its sworn duty to maintain peace and security. Most shocking in this series of events is the abandonment of a school by Belgian peacekeepers after ten soldiers were murdered. Thousands had flocked to the school for UN protection, and roaming gangs of Hutu supporters killed nearly all of them.

There you go 579, faulty enough for you?

Ditto as well.

The UN must be missing those millions of Aussie taxpayer dollars that the other conceited, mendacious and self-serving egotist, Julia Galah'd (Obama got that right!) was planning to hand over to make up for 'poisonous carbon dioxide'.

Peacekeepers are not Judge and jury. The khmer of Cambodia is the language and the population. Peacekeepers don’t fight wars.
Peacekeeping has proven to be one of the most effective toolsavailable to the UN to assist host countries navigate the difficult path from conflict to peace.
Peacekeeping has unique strengths, including legitimacy, burden sharing, and an ability to deploy and sustain troops and police from around the globe, integrating them with civilian peacekeepers to advance multidimensional mandates.
UN Peacekeepers provide security and the political and peacebuilding support to help countries make the difficult, early transition from conflict to peace.
Cambodia is a constitutional monarchy, and its constitution provides for a multiparty democracy . The Royal Government of Cambodia, formed on the basis of elections internationally recognized as free and fair, was established on September 24, 1993. The constitution established three branches of government — legislative, judicial, and executive. In practice, the legislature and the judiciary are not well developed, and the executive holds most of the government’s power. Also, in 1993 Cambodia held its first general election, with support from the UN.
