Thread: What is the role of UN in the world?

Giants like USA and Russia attacking other countries and making their army base in each and every corner of the world. USA started the proceedings with an attack in Afganistahan and later in the Iraq. They have baseless reasons for the Iraq war. It was clear that the reason was oil. There was no approval from UN in these issues.

Similaly , Russian attack on Georgia. If every country going to take theirown decision on war, then UN will be a waste.

The US and Russia can do this with impunity as far as the UN is concerned because they are permant members of the security council. I am all over removing the power of veto from permanent members.

The other problem is money.
It's difficult to say "Don't invade Iraq" to the people you rely on when you need arms and troops to do some peacekeeping for you.

But the UN needs to be fixed, rather than scrapped, lest we end up not talking to each other at all.

Russia attacked Georgia?

I could have sworn Georgia attacked areas where Russian peace keepers were, killing them, bringing Russia to counter attack. Georgie broke the UN mandates, not the other way around from my knowledge.

The UN is only used on the US side when they agree with us, when they don't the 'UN is irrelevant' is brought up. Look at Iraq

What ever it may be....leave that
my point is the role of UN.
It is not UN (except this country) ???? isn't it ?...
They are threatening Iran and N Korea and what they r doing? ... building army base in every continent ...they may check the scope in The Moon and Mars!

They will prevent others from Atomic researches. They can have Atomic Bombs and Biological weapons!

I agree with you designer on some level. I'm sick of the US policing the world...only when we have something to gain from it. Now look at what we've done to our great country!

I have always felt the UN was nothing more than a talking shop the problem being theres plenty of talk and not enough action sometimes.
