At the end of World War II, the winners founded the United Nations, the Charter of which was signed on June 26, 1945 in San Francisco. At first, they planned to build a "capital of the world" in America, but this is too ambitious. The idea of the organization is perfect, true and humane - ensuring international security…

International security is the spirit of the UN Charter - isn't it funny to talk about it today?

List of UN countries

On the continents of North and South America, as well as Africa, Australia and Oceania, all countries are members of the Organization (23, 12, 54, 14 countries respectively). In Asia, out of 50 states located on the continent, there are 47 countries that are members of the UN (not including Palestine, the Republic of China, Taiwan, Northern Cyprus), in Europe, out of 45 countries, only the Vatican is not included in the UN, but it has a chance.

Is the Charter respectedUN

It is truly strange and scary to realize that the UN Charter is now a forgotten paper.

The UN is called upon to "…save succeeding generations from the scourge of war…".

The peoples of the world today are suffering from wars.

The Organization is obligated to "…ensure the adoption of principles and the establishment of methods that armed forces are used only in the general interest…".

Military aggression of UN members has not stopped for more than fifteen years. According to experts, in 2016 alone, America dropped about 27,000 bombs on 7 countries (more than 12,000 on Syria, and the same number on Iraq).

What else is written in the Charter? How many countries in the UN are ready "… to carry out international cooperation in resolving international problems …". This refers to problems of a different nature, including humanitarian ones. How do sanctions against Russia fit into this provision?

Why not convene a "special session", for example, on the Middle East, because since the beginning of the "Arab spring" the entire territory has come under a terrible blow…

Is nobody interested? Maybe it's time for UN countries to start implementing the Charter?

Interesting - they were deprived of the right to vote for debts

In 2016, 15 UN member countries were sanctioned due to non-payment of membership fees. Libya, Dominican Republic, Bahrain, Mali, Venezuela were denied the right to vote.

The amount billed to Caracas (Venezuela's capital) was $3 million. In listsmall island states, which owe about 2-3 thousand dollars, turned out to be at fault. Official Tehran promptly paid off its debt on membership fees, and the right to vote was returned to it. Some states from the list of the penalized can take part in resolving certain issues, some cannot.

Rules of Conduct

The organization is called upon to maintain peace and security in the world, its task is to prevent global threats. How many countries in the UN today are in favor of peaceful means of suppressing aggression within the framework of international law? Today, in the age of hidden wars between nations?

The task of the UN is to settle disputes between countries and resolve situations that lead to conflicts, the development of hostile relations and the outbreak of wars…

The principles of self-determination of peoples and their equality formed the basis of the tasks of the UN to strengthen and develop friendly interethnic relations. How many countries in the UN today advocate equal rights and fundamental freedoms for all people? But according to the Charter of the Organization, it does not matter what race, sex, language or religion a person is. The UN should advocate cooperation between states in resolving global problems in the spheres of the economy, social and cultural nature.

All participants have sovereign equality and are bound by statutory obligations. If a country member of the UN has international disputes with other countries, they are obliged to resolve it by peaceful means, so as not to exposethreat to the rest of the world. Their decisions must be fair to the whole world.

Admission to the UN

Admission to the Membership of the Organization is open, the question of how many countries in the UN can be admitted by the General Assembly has one answer: an unlimited number. All peace-loving states that are ready to act in accordance with the Charter of the Organization, accept the obligations contained in it and will be ready to fulfill them can become members of the UN.

Location

America… Even if you didn't know, it's not hard to guess in which city the UN headquarters is located. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. bought a site in Manhattan and donated it to the city - the UN headquarters is based there today. The construction of the complex designed by Le Corbusier was completed in 1952.
