What is the role of the UN today?

27 Apr

Democracies in crisis, wars spread across the planet, and the role ofonu_sede the UN is the only security, many organizations and political organizations think not.

The first UN meeting was held on April 25, 1945 so 70 years ago in the city of San Francisco in the US, with the presence of 51 governments and non-governmental organizations to draw up the United Nations Charter, but went on to be permanently available from of October 24, 1945.

His UN headquarters in New York though, has only four organs in this location, the International Court of Justice is located in The Hague, the Netherlands, and there are other bodies scattered locations across the world.

The current UN Secretary General, is the South Korean Ban Kim Moon, and the organization now has 193 UN Member States and only these states may vote at the UN.

See some of these agencies:

International Labour Organization (Geneva, Switzerland)

International Maritime Organization (London, UK)

International Monetary Fund (Washington, DC, United States)

International Telecommunication Union (Geneva, Switzerland)

United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Paris, France)

World Food Programme (Rome, Italy)

But his main organ where the political dispute is fierce and where the ideological forces are concentrated is the Security Council,compound by 15 Member States, with 5 permanent members (China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, United States) and the other 10 members are temporary that are changed every two years ago, now are members Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Gabon, Japan, Lebanon, Mexico, Nigeria, Turkey and Uganda.

It is time to renew your role, you must create an international solidarity program to promote an end to poverty, prevent dictatorships and oppression, defend the right to education for all and especially to establish tolerance political, religious, gender and cultures.
