What are the reasons that the United Nations failed to stop the war in Darfur yet?

the UN couldn't stop for a red light much less a war

The United Nations has become a political lobbying organization for a way of life its leaders feel is the way it should be.  Its a quasi democratic socialistic system much like those in Western Europe (France, Holland, etc).  As such they are not able to handle serious issues like the one you present.  Handling these issues will cost them political capital and force them to lose ground on their political agenda.  \n\nThis was the same reason they would not do anything about Iraq.  It was not because they didn't think Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction it was because doing something about it would cost them political capital...look at all the countries Saddam paid oil profits too (France, Germany, Russia, China)

Good Reason:  Darfur, Sudan\n\nAnswer:  No.  They are too unwieldy, and not well supported, even by their own membership.  \n\nBut they are whiz-bang great balls of fire fun to have at a Scrabble tournament.

What is the question?...What areas/parts in Africa where there is still civil war of sometime of genocide?\n\nOf course our attention (U.S) and the UN focus should be now and should have been a long time now in the Darfur area Sudan.  There is a massive genocide taking place and we have overlooked this horrific tragedy.  George Clooney recently televised a special documentary focusing on this area and to expose the great ordeal that is happening now:\n\nThis is just a clip of an article I copied from BBC news\n"More than three million people need food aid or have fled their homes, and some 200,000 are estimated by the United Nations to have died because of the violence."\nBelow is a quota from the same article mentioned above this highlights the genesis of this war:\n"Sudan's government and the pro-government Arab militias are accused of war crimes against the region's black African population, although the UN has stopped short of calling it genocide."

they are fixing to have a civil war.\n\nThere will not be peace on earth until all humans are eliminated because good and evil are only concepts of humans.

That is a wonderful goal, but what about the rest of the world?\n\nWill they stop the killing in Darfur? Will they stop suicide bombers? Will they stop the destruction of the rain forest?\n\nWE can only go so far. It has to be US, all of US

Well the Security Council of the UN is investigating things like the genocide in the Sudan and the Iranian nuclear issue. It was formed by all of the member countries.

Good question, I posed this question to David Cameron 2 days ago, I await a reply. I asked him what he would do about Sudan and Zimbabwe if he won the election. Email me if you want me to forward the response (if I get one lol) \n\nIn my personal opinion the failure of action is down to 2 factors.\n\n1. National Interest, which we dont have because Zimbabwe doesnt have anything that we would like to exploit.\n2. As a result of the disastrous African peacekeeping forces of the past Somalia in particular. \n\nOn the other hand we have another Rwanda on our hands right now in Sudan and yet again the world stands by and watches. Its a disgrace to humanity, and I am ashamed of our leaders.

The US started this war?  Where do you get your facts from?  I thought it was because S.H. wasn't playing by the rules set forth from the U.N.

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.

Well it was establised before the UN, manley to organize countries and prevent wars. It failed, when WWII came... out of that appeared the UN.

The UN is the successor to the league of nations as it was not effective to prevent the second world war

I wouldn't call it a war for no reason - there were some very unpleasant episodes of 'ethnic cleansing' there, not a million miles removed from the crimes of the holocaust. Also various sections of the community actually requested UN help in their desperation (unlike Iraq where the US/UK/Aus etc just stormed in uninvited).\n\nBut it is terrible to have people you care about miles from home. I hope everyone involved in peacekeeping duties returns home safely soon.

What is the U.N. doing about the genocide in Darfur?\nWhat they do about everything else..They are siting around in 1000 dollar suits paid for by American Tax dollars talking about the problem.

I would like to see the United Nations become an agency with more teeth to it. It seems that most of the time, they sit around and talk and then after a few months of "You really ought to not do this or that", they get around to discussing possible sanctions, and ask permission to go see what may be going on. They don't act with enough authority. It would appear that any court of any of it's members could do a faster job of resolving a problem. (Maybe not to every ones satisfaction.) Why does it take the U.N so long? They need to become a world court that you don't mess around with.

Because we don't actually fight, we try to stop everyone else from fighting.  That will never work!\n\nOh, and the UN would not be happy with is if we did what it would take to actually win a war.

Nobody is willing to face a war.  We have so many treaties and organisations to nib it in budding stage itself.  Every nation wants to champion the cause of peace and many nations oppose the move to breach of peace.  The reason is  the big nations and developed nations will suffer great loss of life, man power, money, material, projects, food supply ,transport, communications etc. There will be no world or war thereafter.
