Many interacting with the UN bodies experience corruption, racism, violation of the UN's own core values and principles. What recourse to justice is available to such victims?

well, i suppose you can send the SWAT team into the UN compound and make things clear.

I agree. Many governments (Hong Kong, UAE and others) feel the need to keep the overseas contract workers under their oppressive control and violate their basic human rights. Only global condemnation and action can have some impact.\n\ncc

The human rights only apply to criminals and foreigners. If a British citizen did something like that, they would be arrested and accused of racism.

The U.S. currently owes approximately $1.3 billion dollars in assessments to the UN.  The U.S. refuses to pay these amounts unless the UN undertakes certain specified reforms.  The last payment was made in December 1999 in the amount of $100 million, the next payment of $582 million cannot be made until the Helms-Biden law controlling UN payments is modified.

Hang him up by his "your know whats" and let him see how it feels to be tortured like he has tortured so many other people or had them tortured.  He should be ashamed of himself and his family.  Thank you for your question.\n\nThe UN is designed to be a part of history as referred to Bibically.  It is a system that is to be set up before Jesus' return.  Read your Bible please.

You learn to accept that  these injustices exist and try not to inflict them yourself. We tend to turn a blind eye to certain things because we are disgusted by it and believe that if we look away it will no longer exist, which is so not true. If you want to make a difference constantly speak out about it, educate others, make them see that turning a blind eye away from problems does not solve the problem. Sweeping things under the rug does not make things disappear, it just oh so cleverly hides everything.

Well hopefully with time people will see there is only 1 race.....the human race.\nI refuse to take responsibilty for the actions of people that are now dead. \nI CAN say that what they did was wrong but I can't change it.\nSo the best way to deal with it is to learn from their mistakes and treat all people the same. \nYeah I know long long way to go yet.

Waging war without justification.\nHolding prisoners without giving them due consideration, legal representation, or any rights.\n\n"Crimes against humanity: murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against civilian populations, before or during the war; or persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds in execution of or in connection with any crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the country where perpetrated."

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the UN to help with anything, especially in the human-rights department.\n\nThis is the same organization that, just a day or two ago, voted down an amendment that would have called on Cuba to curb its human rights abuses.\n\nThis happened on the same day that the UN passed a resolution calling on the U.S. to end its Cuba embargo.\n\nThat's the UN for you -- silence with regard to Castro's human-rights atrocities, while lecturing us to do business with that bastard.\n\nSo, since the UN is so wimpy with regard to Castro, there's no reason to believe they can do much of anything about Nigeria or anything else in the human-rights arena.\n\n.

it is not a new discovery. UN have been a puppet in USA hands for long time now. UN is useless when the subject concerns USA.

To some extend I agree with you. There must be an international ethics for everybody to obey. Sue them...

Groups that haven't had their rights compromised by society often negatively perceive the mechanisms used by marginalized groups to get equality.  It's understandable given that the mechanisms seem to be fostering a kind of specialness.  However, when we look at them a little more closely, these mechanisms are born from the reality of inequality and are necessary until that inequality is resolved.  Therefore, it would be ludicrous for the non-marginalized groups to demand that these same mechanisms apply to them (e.g. a white college fund, a white-rights promotion group).  Why?  Because the whole point is that the society doesn't compromise the rights of the privileged group.  With that said, because all of these things are human institutions, there will be cases where the mechanisms fail.  With respect to your experiences, we need to make sure that we analyze our thoughts and perceptions because our natural tendency as humans is to project responsibility outward and to see ourselves as victimized.  I'm not saying this is the case in your specific experiences but, given that it's a universal dynamic, it would be a positive exercise to investigate this in yourself.

The UN is controlled by the security council where the permanent members have a veto.They are first and foremost responsible for any failure of the UN in anything.I admit it's more than annoying but it's also weird to blame the UN as a front to not have to blame the world community.\nThe UN can only be as strong or as weak as its members

The UN has not succeeded in ANY of the the programs or points it was started for or tried to do in the whole time it has existed.  The only UN program that has done any good at all is UNICEF and that is because people donate to it.

The fact is that you can't.  What I have seen from having been to a few of those countries is that they primarily run by culture, not law or religion.  Sure, they claim it's the law or part of religion, but careful examination of both will tell you the opposite.  She won't get justice because in those countries they just don't care.  The victim is the criminal in their eyes.  They criminal is rarely punished whereas the victim has a stigma attached to her permanently and may even be murdered to protect her family's "honor" if that's what you want to call it.

The United Nations doesn't and will most likely never help the world.  It's a wasted organization that needs a lot less talk and a lot more action.
