Is the United Nations a failure?
It depends on how you approach the question. It is still around since its founding in 1945 and it
has agencies that operate throughout the world so you can say that it is functioning. And there
have been individual successes over the years.
But if you look at the broader picture, you have to ask the question: Has the United Nations
fulfilled its original purpose which was to promote peace and security throughout the world?
The answer to that question in no! The United Nations has failed immensely in this regard. And
the evidence can be found in the carnage of battlefields and destroyed villages, towns and cities
sown with the blood of mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, aunts, uncles, grand parents, cousins,
friends, acquaintances, strangers and complete unknowns. In short all of our fellow citizens who
have suffered and died over the last 59 plus years since the United Nations was founded. The
failing can be found in the battlefields of Korea, Viet Nam, The Balkans, Rwanda, The Congo,
Ethiopia, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Cambodia, Pakistan,
India, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Spain, The Falkland Islands, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Chechnya, and
others...
The failing can be found in the refugee camps that exist like cysts, festering the landscape and
draining the dreams and aspirations of the hostages of the United Nations' failures. Refugee
camps like Halockhani and Lohloe, Dheisheh, Saharawi and others, names that are hard to
pronounce but as sure as you are reading this, they exist out there dotted across our planet.
And the failing can be found in the slums of Calcutta, Sao Paolo, Manila, Mumbai, Nairobi,
Johannesburg, Bhopal, Rio de Janeiro, Caracas, Djibouti, Kigali, Lagos and others. Places that
stifle the lives of those trapped in a hopeless cycle of poverty and despair.
There is no question that the United Nations has done some good in this world of ours, but the
historical evidence and common sense shows that the United Nations and its members have none
the less failed the citizens of the world and the conditions continue to exist for further failure
unless real historic change takes place.
Our solution to the change necessary for peace and security throughout the world is world
unification under one world-wide elected government.
