United Nations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In September 2005, the United Nations convened a World Summit that brought together the heads of most of its 191 member states, in a plenary session of the General Assembly's 60th session. The UN describes itself as a "global association of governments facilitating cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, and social equity." It was founded by 51 states and as of 2005 it consists of 191 member states, including virtually all internationally-recognized independent nations. Its first formal use was in the January 1, 1942 Declaration by the United Nations, which committed the Allies to the principles of the Atlantic Charter and pledged them not to seek a separate peace with the Axis powers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/United_Nations   (5001 words)

United States Navy Veterans Association In addition to being a member of the United States Navy Veterans Association, he is also an honorary member of the Royal Naval Association, an honor he was awarded because of his almost lifelong work and dedication to the cause of the Anglo-American naval services. But if requests for international cooperation are not successful, and the national security of the United States is at stake, then we as a people should be resolved, despite the loss of lives, to act in our own self defense without asking anybody's permission first, or listening to their Monday morning quarterbacking after the fact. And our national sovereignty is inherently put at risk when powerful foreign ideologues preach a 'Caliphate' world order designed to take over the United States and destroy its way of life, as Al Quaida and their allies, which are to true Islam as the Ku Klux Klan was to true Christianity, do. navyvets.tripod.com   (3616 words)

Human Rights Watch: Publications: United States of America The United States is one of the few countries where a crime committed by a juvenile regularly results in a life sentence without any possibility of parole.

This 167-page report documents state and national trends in this type of sentencing and analyzes the race, history and crimes of the young offenders and is a joint project with Amnesty International. www.hrw.org /hrw/pubweb/Webcat-104.htm   (2189 words)

The citizen of the United States is taught from infancy to rely upon his own exertions in order to resist the evils and the difficulties of life; he looks upon the social authority with an eye of mistrust and anxiety, and he claims its assistance only when he is unable to do without it. In the United States, as soon as a party has become dominant, all public authority passes into its hands; its private supporters occupy all the offices and have all the force of the administration at their disposal. xroads.virginia.edu /~HYPER/DETOC/1_ch12.htm   (2780 words)
