cmv: The UN is a useless organization that is no better than the League of Nations before them

The United Nations is all talk and no action. They wrote the basic human rights that everyone has in the fifties, yet nations violate those rights on a daily basis, and the UN does nothing to stop them. They take stances in all sorts of conflicts like the Israel-Palestine conflict, and 9/11 and the resulting wars following it, but they never actually do anything to enact their declarations. The last major conflict I know of them getting involved in was the Korean War. That was over 60 years ago, and they only did get involved because some communist nations had lost representation in the UN at the time. 

In modern times, the only things I’ve seen the UN doing is maintaining an expensive border fence between Cyprus and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, and trying to gain control over the Amazon Rainforest, to which Brazil said “no” and the UN immediately gave up. 

The UN seems so afraid to take a stand in any wars that they just don’t. Besides, most countries avoid war and know how to pick their battles anyway, UN or not. The Cold War supports this. The US and USSR wrote the doctrine of “M.A.D.” which basically stated that if both sides knew they would be completely obliterated by a nuclear war, neither would risk starting one. Another example is Israel who has many nations in the Arab League not recognize them, but (with the exception of Palestine) has done very little militarily to try to end the country because they know that if they did the US and possibly NATO (not the UN) would get involved and the whole thing would end in a hail of bullets and bombs. 

The UN does not seem to do a whole lot to try to stop wars, so why do nations across the world continue to pump money and troops into it?

It may not do much curb major powers, but UN peacekeeping is very effective at ending and preventing civil wars around the world. Far more effective than military intervention by individual countries. 

That’s before we get to all the humanitarian work the UN does through agencies like UNICEF.
