is UN a gutless organisation being run by US by remote?

Question

never seen UN having the guts to go out openly against US policies,infact the UN is supposed to nod to every US whim

Answer 1

Yes to Gutless.
Kofi Anan was a "nice " but morally stupid man. No person of conscience could have presided over the genocide in Muslim Bosnia, the Muslim Chechens,Muslim Darfur and Muslim Iraq, Muslim Palestine and not be seen as a US collaborator with no priciples. In short a soft spoken unassertive do nothing individual who did whatever the US demanded: Give us the oil or we will de-populate the oil produceing regions of the world by any cruel method imaginable. The cruel part - that's what makes the UN a hoax. Always too late to intervene and serving the US intrests.
Moreover, their inability to stand up to Israeli facism and the endless wars started by US backed dictators qualifies the UN as Legally and Morally Worthless. The only people who value the UN are the elites of various countries who maintain a terminal case of Chamber of Commerce disease. It's all about maitenace of their self image as civilised people -when they are not. It's all about racism - not seeing Arabs, Muslims, Africans(60% Muslim), Asians as HUMANS .
Only they..... white eurocentric types and 'wanna be elites are humans worthy of legal recognition or protection. Its all about Carl Marx ultimately anyway.
What they don't have is an ability to enforce any laws... Otherwise there would be no Heroin in Afghanistan . The ISI would be dismantled. US backed warlords -like those in Afghanistan would be in Jail ...not spit shineing their new uniforms.
The UN ? .....Bolton has it right! But only because he's in the wrong job. He should be a drug lord too. Him and Musharaff 's bunch all of them buying and selling death. They get paid for not ending the mass murder of Muslims for oil.The UN does not represent civilisation . How you treat people is civilisation and they are all failing.

Answer 2

Probably true, but consider the reasons why:

* The US provides significantly more than 50% of the annual budget for the UN. If other countries were to provide more from a monetary standpoint, the US would have a lot less political say in the matter.

* The UN is made up of an enormous quantity of countries which have no sense of equality (economic or social) in their home countries. Examine most of the oil-rich countries, for example, and see how they treat women and non-Arabs on their home turf.

* Related to the preceeding bullet point, if it were up to the UN, Israel would not exist. (Depending on your personal viewpoint, this might not be such a bad thing, but I happen to support Israel in everything it does, so this is really important to me.)

* The US does what it wants because, quite simply, it can. It has the economic power in the world market to convince other countries that going along with US policies is in their own best interests, and that failure to do so will have significant economic consequences. (Don't believe this one? Just ask Fidel Castro of Cuba.)

I'm sure I'm missing several other important points, but those are at least good for starters.

Answer 3

No. Hell no. That's ridicoulous, just look at the way france was oposed to the irak war, the EU and US are allies, but that dosent mean the EU always agree with the U.S., the U.S and the EU are both capitalist forces and were allies in the cold war, they also both share the same religious, democratic and free speech values, besides, the U.S was at first a G-B colony, G-B being part of the EU, these are the reasons why the U.S and EU agree on many things, but not absolutly everything, the U.S. economy gives them power over most of the world's countries but that dosen't mean these countries can't have their own oppinion, just look at the way canada was also completly opposed to war on irak, even tought most of Canada is controled economically by the U.S. the europeen nations are very capable of speaking their minds, trust me they are strong enought for that. same thing for canada, australia, all the commonwhealt, and other free world countries. everybody as the right to say what they want in the UN. Just look at the speech Hugo Chavez made in the UN lately, were he openly called Bush the devil, if the UN was remotly controled by the U.S, this would not have happened. The UN was formed after WWII by the victorious nations, France, U.S., Russia, G-B and China, not by the U.S all alone. now almost every nation on the planet is part of the UN, and they can all critizice at will Bush's antics. Of course, the U.S. is one of the UN's leaders being the world's more powerful nation and one of the founders, but saying that they remotly control it is just absolutly ridiculous.
Yes, the U.S. economy runs the world, but still that dosent mean that people can't get pissed off at them, when the anger of the people grows out of control, money can't protect you, so yes, you can control ecomically the planet, but that dosen't mean nobody will ever oppose you, because ideals can't be purchased, and money can't shutdown the people's anger.

Answer 4

Actualy, the US tends to get condemed a lot by the UN General Assembly. Unfortunately, the UNGA has no power. The only part of the UN with any power is the UN Security Council, of which the US is a permanent member with veto power. Every time a resolution comes up in the UNSC that would be bad for American interests they just veto it (for example, resolutions have come up to condem war crimes commited by Israel several times, and those votes usualy end 14 - 1)

Answer 5

I think the UN was openly against the US invading Iraq.
Then again, I doubt the US really listens to anything the rest of the world says.

Answer 6

The U.N is a Giant pain in the A-s, to the U.S., it's a nest of spies, and is totally "USELESS" ! The food for oil program made all of the "spooks" at the UN have full pockets, they should have been expelled just for that !

Answer 7

Then why did the US have to invade Iraq w/o UN approval. Keep in mind there are veto countries in the UN, and they have used their power.

Answer 8

i think of you look to conceal already the intense components and that i'm hoping some additions like those mentioned via Thimmappa, Jessie and so on could bypass an prolonged thank you to help society. i'm extremely struck via the assumption to rope in rag pickers. yet they say they get sufficient to administration their kinfolk however the youngsters rreally lose their childhood in looking bread extremely than skills and exhilaration of play and pranks. yet in my own place there are extra advantageous than a score rag pickers. How huge is your source to concentration on such huge artwork of rehabilitation? i'm sorry to examine Poondiji's comments. He seems to have had his time with many incorrect NGOs as a results of fact I had additionally basic some clothing that amassed huge donations and development huge places of work, determining to purchase luxury autos for the adm team, yet catering a small team of beneficiaries basically for the sake of their classified ads. yet truthfully some social elites and officers have been assisting those to locate skill donors, for a attention. They continuously had sturdy excuses to assist the frugal activities. yet such exceptions are everywhere and one has to look at song records if one is susceptible to make any huge information. basically as a results of fact the police or hospitals are unfair, can we close the intense centers? We would in line with risk locate tactics of tracking activities of all donor pushed establishments for his or her ideal centers, by a impartial elite physique. ok, i would not recommend a finished condemnation like Poondi ji and that i desire he comes for the time of extra dedicated companies to alter his commonplace perspectives approximately NGOs. At a time while govts are making waiting to withdraw from countless provider activities and contain inner maximum gamers, even for conservancy and maintenance of public homes, the jobs of dedicated Voluntary companies / NGOs could be mandatory in destiny to handle social themes effectively. I boost my sturdy needs to you on your efforts to serve the society in despite way. it somewhat is lot large than totally being lost interior the pursuit of one's kinfolk and self's welfare. God bless you.
