International Organizations And The United Nations

The UN has an agreement with all other nation states to not get in conflict with each other and to settle differences in meetings to prevent another world war. It also makes them stronger as a

By mid-June 1945 there was yet another meeting where 51 nations came together and signed the Charter of United Nations this document laid out the obligations and rights of each country to keep peace in the world (Basic Facts About the United Nations). Each of those nations is responsible for trying to ensure that the generations to come will not have to bear witness to the horror, pain, and destruction from war like the ones their generation had to witness not once but twice. The United Nations is set up to smooth over any conflicts they encounter with peace unless they must defend themselves. These nations are to work together to maintain peace and security and to maintain friendly relations when solving international economic, humanitarian, social, and cultural issues. The home base for this operation is in New York City since 1942, and each year the 193 Member States meet. They call this the General Assembly where the head generals of the United Nations come together to go over budget, debate problems, and elect a new president of the UN that serves a sentence of one year. It has grown in these seventy plus years and now has multiple divisions that get sent out each for a different and particular problem. There is a Security Council which is the main group,

The United Nations was to be a place where there was peace between the countries, a place where they can dispute their differences, a place to support each other and benefit from the allies a country made by being in the United Nations. It was “designed to make possible lasting freedom and independence for all its members” (Document B). Not long after it was founded, it started falling apart. People had different idea of how it should have been ran but the people who got their way was the bigger and stronger countries. They came to an agreement that the bigger countries—the United States, Soviet Union, Great Britain, France, and China—would have veto power and the other countries that were a part of it would take smaller roles in the decisions

The principle bodies of the United Nations consists of General assembly, Security council, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship council, International Court of Justice and Secretariat. The Security Council is considered as the most important principle body as it has the power to authorise military force to enforce its solution. The permanent five members of the Security Council are the five most powerful countries at the end of WW2 which includes United States, France, China, Great Britain and Russia. Each member has the right to object the Security Council resolutions that it disagrees with. The aims of the UN

The United Nations has been effective to a certain extent in providing resolutions to threats of world order. Its structure and functioning was designed to curtail the negative effects of globalisation, such as the spread of transnational threats, and to grant peace and security. The Charter of the United Nations with a purpose to strive for peace and security and act in a manner that reduces threats established the UN in 1945. Specifically through the establishment of the UN refugee agency it has been effective in responding to the threat of increasing refugees in Syria by providing humanitarian assistance. Additionally, it is the strongest, wide reaching and well respected global peace initiative as it retains support and commitment from

To celebrate United Nations Day, which falls on October 24 every year, the Seton Hall University chapter of the United Nations Association-USA (UNA-SHU) helped students contribute to the work of the United Nations with the United in Solidarity Refugee Dinner. Held on October 26, the dinner raised funds for agencies that provide aid to refugees. The UNA-USA chapter invited representatives of the United Nations Foundation, Jewish Vocational Services, and Global Emergency Response and Assistance, all of which work to resettle refugees in the New Jersey area.

International order is a “pattern set of activities that allows international life to go on.” The aftermath of WWII illustrates the dawning of the current international order. A constitutional order, generally speaking, is an agreement or binding political institutions where states agree on

From the late 1990s, international organisations such as United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and USAID were key agents on the public health track. Through partnerships with national government and women’s NGOs, these organizations provided services for married adolescents through UN-FPA’s National Country Strategies and through innovative USAID Nigeria wide projects, such as AWARE I-RH (2003–8) and AWARE II-RH (2009–11) (Walker, 2013). International organisations such as UNFPA, ActionAid International, Grand Challenges Canada, the Institute of International Education, World Learning, USAID Nigeria, UNICEF, UNESO, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, Family Health International, the World Bank, the Ford Foundation,

With a charter established in 1945, the United Nations began its mission to promote peace and security . International collaboration led to the ratification of the charter by five country representatives at the time: China, France, The Soviet-Union, The United Kingdom and The United States; the UN officially came into existence October 24 1945. Each year since the day of ratification, UN day’s celebration reminds the world of their objective to promote respect for human rights, gender equality; the advancement of women, protecting the environment, fighting disease and reducing poverty. The six main organs within the United Nations: The General Assembly, Security Council, Economics and Social Council, The Trusteeship Council, The

The United Nations, as the world’s largest intergovernmental organization enables the cooperation of member states on a wide variety of issues. This makes it a major player in the economic, political and security status of the world. Its presence in an Encyclopedia is thus indisputable. If I wrote an article on the United Nations, I would break it down to its membership, structure, role, funding, history, challenges and achievements. I would place photographs of leaders of member states in meetings, its headquarters and pictures of projects being undertaken by the body. Potentially controversial parts may be those dealing with membership, voting and funding. Membership would stir controversy since some areas that claim autonomy like Taiwan and Palestine face opposition from China and Israel respectively. Voting may be controversial because the Security Council appears to hold sway even on matters that are within the jurisdiction of the General Assembly. Funding may stir controversy since the UN would appear as held under the whims of its huge funders. I would visit the UN website plus read through media articles relating to the UN. I would also check their books of account to verify their funding.

“ Here is a task truly of, by and for the world, one that should rally nations. The nature of this task however, must be clearly understood; only then can suitable means for accomplishing it be formulated, only then can the role that the United Nations could and should play be appreciated” ( Wilcox/Haviland, 29). There are many international organizations that have been talked about throughout this semester. One of the most important ones is The United Nations. The United Nations was established October 24, 1945, and has since then been impacting the country. The United Nations main purpose according to the lecture notes is “ to provide a global additional structure through which states can sometimes settle conflicts with less reliance on the use of force , for whole purpose of the United Nations is to provide the globe a forum by which countries may settle disputes through this forum peacefully as opposed to relying on a force which has been the case historically” ( Kopalyan, Module 8). Thus meaning The United Nations was set up to handle problems peacefully rather than going to war to try and solve problems. “Powerful economic as well as political forces are at work to bring about a growing integration of the world community, and the United Nations and its related agencies are uniquely fitted to assist in the task” (Wilcox/Haviland,45). This was some of the reason that the United Nations was created.

Intergovernmental organizations are the back bone of the political unity between countries. They help in establishing treaties and many of the relations countries have between each other. Intergovernmental organizations are also termed as IGOs, as well as international organizations. These organizations are formed by sovereign states that share a common interest or goal. They can be formed for security reasons, like the United Nations, economic issues, like the World Bank and IMF, for regional purposes, like the European Union, for cultural purposes, like the Arab League, etc. These organizations serve a functional purpose in the world to help with stability, international law, foreign policy, and the unification between countries. The oldest IGO is the Central Commission for the Navigation of the Rhine. It was first created in the Congress of Vienna in 1815. The organization is still running today, addressing the issues found in inland navigation, particularly in the Rhine River. Each IGO serves a purpose, and despite many successful IGOs, there are still many who argue that they lack in effectiveness to accomplish their endeavors. Some IGOs do have trouble in reaching their goals, but many others are highly effective. One of the most debated and largest IGOs is the United Nations. The original or decedent of the UN was the League of Nations, an intergovernmental organization that ultimately failed. It lacked some of the necessary elements it takes to be a
