The United Nations (UN) is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate co-operation in international law, international security, economic development, and social equity. It was founded in 1945 at the signing of the United Nations Charter by 50 countries, replacing the League of Nations founded in 1919.\n\nThe UN was founded after the end of World War II by the victorious allied powers in the hope that it would act to prevent and intervene in conflicts between nations and make future wars impossible or limited. The organization's structure still reflects in some ways the circumstances of its founding, which has led to calls for reform. The five permanent members of the UN Security Council, each of which has veto power on any UN resolution, are the main victors of World War II or their successor states: People's Republic of China (which replaced the Republic of China), France, Russia (which replaced the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, and the United States.\n\nAs of 2006, there are 192 United Nations member states, including virtually every internationally recognized independent country. From its headquarters in New York City, the UN's member countries and specialized agencies give guidance and decide on substantive and administrative issues in regular meetings held throughout each year. The organization is divided into administrative bodies, including the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Secretariat, Trusteeship Council, and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), as well as counterpart bodies dealing with the governance of all other UN System agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The UN's most visible public figure, and the representative head, is the Secretary-General, currently Kofi Annan. On 13 October 2006, South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki-moon was approved by the United Nations General Assembly as the world body's eighth secretary-general and the first Asian to hold the post since 1971; Ban will assume the post on 1 January 2007.\n\nAims of the UN\n\nThe stated aims of the United Nations are to prevent war, to promote human rights, to provide a mechanism for international law, and to promote social progress and improved living standards. [6] It gives the opportunity for countries to balance global interdependence and national interests when addressing international problems. Toward this end it ratified a Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948....\n\n....In reality it's a w@nk-fest!! for want of a better word...\n\n...they will get their massive world army soon and when they do they will report to no one & they've already proved they cannot be kept in check! just go to the website in wikipedia...successes and failures...

Oh my God. You should totally run for President. If the UN was in Baghdad or the Gaza Strip these wars that last for years would only last like three days. That's how you have world peace make all these world leaders have to meet in the same places they are bombing. Once that first bullet past their head they will be signing peace treaties left and right.

The United Nations was founded as a successor to the League of Nations which was considered by many to have been ineffective in its role as an international governing body: it had been formed in response to World War I, on the premise that such wars could be prevented by such an entity, yet had failed to prevent World War II. \n\nThe biggest advantage the United Nations has over the League of Nations is the ability to maintain and deploy its member nations' armed forces as peace keepers.\n\nThe term "United Nations" (which term appears in stanza 35 of Canto III of Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage) was suggested by Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II, to refer to the Allies.\n\nThe idea for the UN was elaborated in declarations signed at the wartime Allied conferences in Moscow, Cairo and Tehran in 1943. From August to October 1944, representatives of France, the Republic of China, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union met to elaborate the plans at the Dumbarton Oaks Estate in Washington, DC. Those and later talks produced proposals outlining the purposes of the organization, its membership and organs, and arrangements to maintain international peace and security and international economic and social cooperation. These proposals were discussed and debated by governments and citizens worldwide.\n\nOn April 25, 1945, the UN Conference on International Organizations began in San Francisco. In addition to the Governments, a number of non-governmental organizations, including Lions Clubs International, were invited to assist in drafting the charter. The 50 nations represented at the conference signed the Charter of the United Nations two months later on June 26. Poland had not been represented at the conference, but a place had been reserved for it among the original signatories, and it added its name later. The UN came into existence on October 24, 1945, after the Charter had been ratified by the five permanent members of the Security Council — Republic of China, France, the Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and the United States — and by a majority of the other 46 signatories.\n\nInitially, the body was known as the United Nations Organisation, or UNO. However, by the 1950s, English speakers were referring to it as \nThe United Nations, or The UN.

He has a long list of accomplishments both before and after election to the papacy.\n\nHe has a long list of documents, books, plays and articles written by him.  If he were an professor, he would have been considered very accomplished.\n\nHe was an accomplished actor and athlete.  He was an avid downhill skiier and I have heard he represented Poland in Rugby.  I don't know if the last part is true or not.\n\nHe spoke fluently at least 12 languages and tried to learn the languages of every country he visited, he made 104 overseas trips.\n\n\nHe visited more countries than any other pope including Peter.\n\nHe has an extensive list of apologies for past wrongs committed by Christians.\n\nHe went a great distance in healing the rift with the other patriarchs, split since the Great Schism in Christianity.\n\nHe did a lot to bring down Communism both before and after election.\n\nEven his funeral brought about accomplishments.  The President of Iran and the Prime Minister of Israel were accidently seated near one another.  Iran has vowed the death of Israel.  The President got up, walked over to the Prime Minister and wished him well and spoke about how they grew up only sixty miles apart.  Prime Minister Sharon has since had a stroke, but you never know what can happen when avowed enemies spend even a moment together as people.

Hopefully very soon. John Bolton is the epitome of everything the criminal bush administration is; dishonest, bullying, manipulative, treasonous, and of course dumb :(\n\nhttp://www.newscorpse.com/Pix/John%20Boltons%20UN.jpg

Can he? I dunno. That would require some willingness to work with other nations of the world, and to respect the institutions of the UN. \n\nRemember, the US turned down a seat on the new UN Human Rights Council, and is currently being investigated by the UN for human rights violations. \n\nAlso, bear in mind the fact that the Senate refused to confirm Bolton, and Bush had to slip him in as a temporary (recess) appointment. So, he'll be forced to take another shot at it eventually.

No I don't think the UN have been successful. When the people in Africa need the UN help to stop the war within itself the UN waited to long to help them. It is like us in the USA calling 911 and been told that we have to wait a week for the EMT to come and help. That is not right. If they are being asked for help then They need to help asap. Not when they feel is the right time. They are the world police.

The UN first saw military action in the Korean War, 1950. It wasn't really peacekeeping, because soldiers died, and they didn't wear the funny blue hats, but they said it was peacekeeping.\n\nAnd we all know that we should always believe what we are told.

No I don't think so as the UN has already chosen Ban Ki-Moon as the sucessor to Kofi Annan.\n\nThe debate has been long gone and over. You're a couple of months too late to start thinking about it now!
