Question

What are the weaknesses of the United Nations?

Answer 1

There are a ton of weaknesses to the UN:

1) they cannot invade the national sovreignty of the UN. It sounds like a good thing, but when u consider the fact that the most they can do is send an angry letter to a nation to stop conflicts/ problems, its kind of sad.

2) the UN has no defintion for genocide or terrorism, so even if they wanted to solve these problems they have no way of identifying what they are.

3) the perm 5 superpowers control the entire UN, and the smaller nations have no control. The veto power causes uneven distribution of power.

4) the UN is an arena of corruption and supports terrorism. Need proof look up the Iraq Oil for food program and Camp Tziporen.

5) peacekeepers cannot fire unless fired upon. So even though they are meant to save lives. They actually cannot do much. Plus, the peacekeepers are involved in a ton of s*x scandals.

6) it is excessively bureaucratic.

Answer 2

Primarily, The UN is The US????? or  the US is the UN? which way is it again?

Answer 3

Corrupt Kofi turned the UN to Useless Nothing. It is in the hands of the worlds most corrupt Muslim and African dictatorships.

Answer 4

The weakneses of The United Nations are that to get peace The United Nations would require the help of all citizens.

The UN cannot impose peace or get it as the nations in it block it. The way around this could be if citizens were to push for the inclusion of The Right To Peace in powerfull as well as weak nations the right to be in The Constituition of each.

There is the problem of what to do when a nation does not respect that right and if it wants to go to war and does so in spite of  the will of the citizens.

Answer 6

The United Nations is often disregarded because it is not a world government.

Answer 7

We have lost our Nationalism and become a globalized country through poor immigration laws, being too PC, letting the dollar slip and for allowing the credit card companies, banks and other corrupt corporate leaders to run the middle class into the ground.

Answer 8

Too many to list.... It has become a worthless institution that is disregarded by certain countries including the US.

Answer 9

I hope media people sees what I am seeing and published fair reporting. And I hope UN will state firmly to its name, UNITED NATION!

Take for example what had happened to Burma and now the Tibetans. Tell me what the media and the UN has done?

Have we not thought that the recent turmoil in Tibet has a bit resemblance to the situation in Israel! Only a bit because it is only China who is keeping its gripped on tiny Tibet to be permanently and obediently part of the mainland. Whereas

with Israel, it is the UN, other superpowers and many other countries of different belief with Israel, are pushing her to giving up more lands, if not all to Palestinians for peace.

I asked, why not Saudi Arabia accommodate them to occupy into their vast desert?

Wake up UN. Do not be a sleeping dog barking wrongly to only selected situation

Answer 10

As Americans, we have to live in this world! At present, the United Nations has a Communist as it's President! No, he did not opt to support that statement but just supports all that supports Communism! We may note that there was a war that fought for Muslims that were being killed in a MUTUAL war between Christians and Muslims! No, the church could not support those of that claims the Christian faith because of what that government did! 64,000 Muslims had been killed! Anyone killed because they have a different faith is wrong! Do we agree? Let us look at Sudan and the U.N.! It is obvious to all that this is a religious war waged by the government! It is not and has never been obvious to the U.N.! THINK ABOUT IT! OVER 2 MILLION that claim Christ, killed and many mutilated because they refused another religion! One lady Muslim came on secular TV, a Liberal station, and stated it was not religion that was the problem.. But facts say that is a total LIE! A Mother was offered to be left alone, if she claimed Alah! She would not.. her b*****s were chopped off so she could not feed her baby! But it is not, according to the DAMNED U.N., a religious war, with a tyrant as President! Just the facts,... Earl

Answer 12

The members of the security council have WAY too much power and intend to keep it that way. Pretty much every problem with the UN stems from that.
