The Un Charter : The Violation Of National Sovereignty And Territorial Integrity Of A Member Of The Right

The United Nations fights for humanitarian issues through the use of peaceful dialogue between countries and leaders. The UN's powers of authorising peacekeeping, sanctions and force when absolutely necessary is given to it by the UN charter, an international treaty. They are limited by the fact that they cannot make their resolutions and policies the law, however the important conversations they start and ideas that are shared are influential upon the many powerful leaders who choose to listen.

Throughout history, our world has constantly been bruised and battered by civil turmoil. Today, the civil war in Syria decimates the country; the Israeli and Palestinian conflict rages on; tens of thousands of people have been killed in South Sudan's ongoing civil war. It is not always easy to isolate what exactly ignites the flames of war, but, whenever possible, finding a workable, calm and satisfying solution to a potential uprising is preferable.

In Article 2 of the U.N. Charter, it requires that all members "settle their international disputes by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security, and justice, are not endangered. Most importantly, member states agree to a broad prohibition against use of force: "All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.'' These words

The UN Charter was created after the Second World War to prevent future wars and to promote international peace and security. It states that a nation may only use force if it is an act of self defense to protect its own country or if it gets approval from the UNSC (United Nations Security Council). If a country is a part of the UN, a violation of the UN charter is a violation

Creating relations between races and ethnicity's has always been vital to the success of the world. The United States and the international community have been, more often than not, late to stop violent acts against humanity. It took decades after the United Nations was created, and after a horrendous genocide in Rwanda, for the International Criminal Court to be created. Despite these two establishments created for international peace and security, crimes against humans rights are still occurring.When human rights are being violated, it is necessary for the U.S. and its allies to intervene in ethnic conflicts. While others may say humanitarian intervention goes against a state’s sovereign authority,it is necessary to protect

Although Canadians are guaranteed freedom of expression under s. 2 (b) of the Charter, these rights are not guaranteed according to s. 1 of the Charter. S.1 of the Charter states that a violation of its rights set out, is acceptable only if it demonstrably justified. If a law is reasonably justified, then the violation of the Charter right is acceptable. There are two steps to determine if the law is justifiable: 1. The objective of the law must be pressing and substantial and 2. The law has to be proportional.

The first article that I read that was entitled Rethinking nonintervention: The challenge of the UN charter and protecting the dispossessed. The article stated how human rights are often violated. The article stated when crimes are committed there are little or no intervention to help the victims. The article stated how most human right crime is committed against woman and children. The article stated how nongovernmental agency have come forward to put things in place to help human rights.

Chandler argues that the invasion and occupation of Iraq highlighted the dynamic behind the concept of R2P. He states that the R2P that emerged in the period after the Iraq invasion reflected more intensely the crisis that that emerged within the ICISS report giving Western governments some form of authority and confidence. He argues that the ICISS report aimed to restore confidence to the UN however it just made R2P appear not as a ‘non-bureaucratic ’ and a non-legalistic’ justification for intervention. There is currently a focus on 'good governance' as a form of prevention and also on institutional reform to take the emphasis away vast transformations of the potential vision of social, economic and political change. Thus it is seen that, Western powers appear to be weak to influence events. Moreover, any form of responsibility is killed once there is an understanding that these 'mass atrocities' are created under the structure of institutional frameworks. “The blame for recurring crises is located narrowly at the level of post-colonial state societies and political elites, rather than in any policy interventions (intended or unintended) by external actors.” (Chandler: 2009, 30)

The United Nations, with its rigid moral and political limitations against force, has become a benchmark of peace and a social achievement of modern times. From war torn Europe, the United Nations developed from five major powers with an initial goal to prevent the spread of warfare through peaceful means and to establish and maintain fundamental human rights. Through the past fifty years, this organization has broadened its horizons with auxiliary organizations from peace keeping missions to humanitarian aid, to economic development. However, in a modern example of ethnic cleansing, the UN faces new a new role as a bystander as its power is bypassed by NATO forces. The UN, however, promises to be an

The most expected result of lack of ability to exercise one’s legal rights would mean that one has the rights but lacks the power to exercise them. Practically granting of rights is the law’s recognition of the validity of a person’s choices. Legal rights give authority for people to act within the framework of the legal system and makes a human being a subject of the law. Article 3 of the ICCPR mandates member states to promote the realization of the right to self determination and to respect that right in conformity with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations. In Kenya the age of majority is 18 years and most people believe that upon attaining the age of majority they will be able to make their own decisions which will be respected. For most people adulthood automatically means the right to become a self determining individual but this has not been so for women, who have been treated in the past as ‘objects’ to be managed as opposed to rights-holders with their own interests and desires.

Before we are able to determine the success or failure of the United Nations in its determination to advocate and support human rights on an international scale, it is imperative that we come to an understanding of the purpose, functions, and structure of the United Nations.

Concerning Paragraph 139 from the Responsibility to Protect, the United Nations Charter presents a possible solution that lies in Chapter VII. The United Nations has the authority to establish an international trusteeship which would place Syria under a provisional control of another nation. A trusteeship would assist the Syrian government in creating a peaceful order, foster social and economic growth, and pressure them to respect human rights. Powerful nations like Russia or the United States or another state mutually agreed upon could be shortlisted to help the Syrian government, moderate rebels, and the international community halt the vicious and ruthless threat that the Islamic State poses to the security of Syria.

Upon review of the United Nations Human rights website, it came to my attention that the website lacks elements like videos and photographic images. A good addition to this webpage that would make it easier to read would be to shorten the paragraphs and configure charts. As it stands now, although it is an excellent website it could do with some improvements I would like to provide you with the best options for achieving an even greater website.

The world witnessed the rise in Economy of several countries. As a result of which people became and rich and economically prosper. The International Organizations like the United Nations and its subordinate bodies exercised greater control over the World. The International bodies are responsible for the maintenance of World peace and to address several other issues which are affecting the countries. The brief description of the International bodies is as under;

The United Nations is widely regarded and respected as the most powerful institution that promotes international cooperation and human rights action. In theory, actions implemented by and within the United Nations are based on the mutual global goal of protecting international human rights and preventing human sufferings. These actions are constituted through three main mechanisms: the Treaty-based system, the Human Rights Council, and Security Council and Humanitarian Interventions, with the level of confrontation and seriousness in each mechanism increases respectively. While aimed to serve the mutual goal of protecting human rights over the world and have shown some successes, in a world of sovereignty, actions when implemented are in fact grounded by the national interests of each state, including embracing its national sovereignty, concreting its strategic relationships with other states, and enhancing its reputation in the international community. This paper will analyze the successes and failures of each of the three mechanisms of the United Nations regime, through which it aims to prove that when it comes to actions, states focus more on their national, and in some cases, regional interests than on the mutual goal of strengthening human rights throughout the world, thus diminishing the legitimacy of the whole United Nations system.
