Question

What are the contributions of UN to world peace?

Answer 1

Having Peace talks to stop terrorists from blowing more people up.  The contributions are it's existance it provides  a way to hold a World War in abeyance. The UN provides food to nations as well as medical care. Monitors Cease Fire lines in wars. The UN Security Council did not authorize The Iraq War.   The contributions to peace also in volve the idea of The Human Right To Peace. To take this literally could mean to put this as a right for citizens in every country. The Human Right for people to retain control of their resources and conserve their own resources in all Constitutions might also be a good one though is not one The UN could make or has suggested .

Answer 2

Well they give terrorist supporting countries about anything they want until they cross the UN.

The UN is a joke.  They can't do anything for themselves but are always wanting countries like the US to support and do everything they say.

Answer 3

The response to the North Korean attack on South Korea was a UN sanctioned action.  Though this is only because Russia was not present for the vote and Taiwan was part of the Security Council at the time and not China.  Otherwise any UN Security Council vote on action would have probably been vetoed by Russia or China.  While the US was the primary country involved, other allied countries also provided forces to repel the North Korean forces.  

That is the only real UN contribution I can think of.  Sure they authorize peacekeepers in other areas, but most of the time those peacekeepers don't seem to help.  Instead they sit in their own bases not really doing anything because of restrictions placed on them.  Or they are part of the problem, taking advantage of the local populations.

Most of the time though the UN simply passes meaningless resolutions and sends strongly worded letters of disappointment to the offenders.

Answer 4

All the money we WASTE by giving it to the UN is not used to buy more weapons for our troops?

Other than that... I have NO IDEA what the UN has ever done to lessen world violence.

Answer 5

Cool powder-blue helmets.
