United Nations

[Kashmiri Pandit]

Is United Nation a useless organization ?

With majors powers controlled by a handful of countries , this organization is unjust . Majors powers use their influence to dictate terms . Its nothing but a battle ground of major powers . Major counties use Veto power to make things go their way .

What will happen if other major countries leaves UN and go independent ? What will be its impact ?

It is, want proof?

[Chinese-Dragon]

Useless. Obviously.

But why is India so desperate for a UNSC permanent seat?

 

[saiyan0321]

Useless and this has been my opinion for a very long time. The UN has its moments and uses and its programs do help the world but the UNs power is highly restricted especially in the face of powerful nations. The organization is run under the concept of might is right and this has a negative effect on its entire working. One would think that the man that runs UN would be the most powerful man alive but he is weaker than most nations provincial members of assembly.

The super powers can do whatever they want, the economical powers can do whatever they want and all that's left are the enemies of super powers who bear the brunt of UN sanctions just bcz they didn't agree to the might of the super power.

I would say it again that its not all black and white and UN does good work as well like its AID programs and humanitarian programs but it cannot control those that have power.

Most of those major nations have veto power so they do not leave. what ever the decisions the UN takes, veto powered nations can block when they are against their interests.

You should be worrying about India's permanent seat with veto power.

Well you used 50:50 and the option useful has been removed leaving only useless.

You used audience poll and 100% say the answer is that UN is useless.

You can call your friend and ask him.

:p :p

But what about if major countries non security council members from Europe , India , Japan etc leave this organization .
Are we at the stage where we can form a world government sort of organization ?

For using that you will not be able to play for 1 crore question

 

[Grevion]

It is useful. If not UN then what other option do we have to take it's place.
In my view it needs some serious reforms. India, Japan, Germany are a deserving candidates to be a permanent member of the security council. Plus the participation of all the non-veto members should also be increased. There is no doubt that the UN failed to perform its primary function of ensuring peace and stability in the entire world but that is mainly because the egoistic approach of many countries party to the issues.

Who would you call in phone a friend?? Abingdon??

 

[24 Hours]

There hasn't been a WWIII yet, so it's not totally useless.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Aramagedon]

It's almost useless, because it's located in new york! the irony... anyway I voted for useful because sovereign countries in the U.N can help the world.

Perhaps you mean the UNSC? Then it is indeed controversial, after all the UN is a product of post-WWII world order.

However, take note that UNSC is only one of the six main organs of UN, the other five are General Assembly, Economic and Social Council, Secretariat, Trusteeship Council, International Court of Justice.

The contribution of UN to the world since its inception is far more than the usual UNSC-related headlines in the populist media.

 

[Nilgiri]

Mostly useless with some utility as has been covered.

One of those things that you despise for whatever reason....but the alternatives are unpredictable and potentially a lot worse.
