History of the United Nations

	United Nations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The UN describes itself as a "global association of governments facilitating cooperation in international law, 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.
		UN membership is open to all peace-loving states that accept the obligations of the UN Charter and, in the judgement of the organization, are able and willing to fulfil these obligations.
		UN peace operations are funded by assessments, using a formula derived from the regular scale, but including a surcharge for the five permanent members of the Security Council (who must approve all peacekeeping operations); this surcharge serves to offset discounted peacekeeping assessment rates for less developed countries.

		Britain's UN ambassador in 1967, Lord Caradon, an author of the Resolution, argued that: "It would have been wrong to demand that Israel return to its positions of June 4, 1967, because those positions were undesirable and artificial."
		The American UN ambassador at the time, former Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg, said 242 omitted reference to Israel's withdrawing from "the" or "all" territories in order to enable "less than a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from occupied territory, inasmuch as Israel's prior frontiers had proved to be notably insecure."
		"UN SC 242 calls on Israel to withdraw only from territories occupied in the course of the Six Day War - that is, not from 'all' the territories or even from 'the' territories...Ingeniously drafted resolutions calling for withdrawal from 'all' the territory were defeated in the Security Council and the General Assembly one after another.

		The UN has set up a special initiative, entitled the Millennium Project, mandated to identify the operational priorities, organizational means of implementation, and financing structures necessary to achieve the MDGs.

		A prime example of UN agencies taking action on the MDGs is the United Nations Volunteers Programme (UNV), which in addition to mobilizing volunteers on-site and online, is advocating to channel the ingenuity, solidarity and creativity of volunteers around the world to achieve the MDGs by 2015.

	ReliefWeb » Document Preview » Afghanistan: Record influx of internal refugees into Herat
		Poulsen's comments follow a report by the UN Coordinator for Afghanistan on 6 April, stating that since June 2000, as many as 700,000 Afghans had left their homes because of drought, conflict, or a combination of both.
		According to the UN, registration of arrivals is under way in the camps, which will enable officials to determine the specific rural areas and districts from which the families are fleeing.
		The Office of the UN Coordinator for Afghanistan maintains that, given the scale of need both in the camps and in rural parts of western Afghanistan, the aid community will have to continue providing assistance at current or higher levels for at least the next 12 months.

	The EU's relations with the United Nations - a wide-ranging partnership
		The main areas in which the UN is active today — such as promoting international peace and security, promoting respect for human rights, protecting the environment, fighting disease, fostering development and reducing poverty — are also priorities for the European Union.
		The UN, with its universal mandate and legitimacy, is uniquely placed to advance global solutions to our common challenges.
		Strengthening co-operation with the UN and with the specialized agencies is thus an important priority for the EU as a whole, as was underlined by the Göteborg European Council of June 2001 and as was reinforced more recently by the European Council of December 2003.

		The French in particular benefit from pushing the United States to break the UN's rules: Under French President Jacques Chirac, they are trying to fashion the European Union as a counterweight to the United States, and the image of the U.S. as an outlaw power helps their cause.

	Amnesty International welcomes UN Secretary-General's bold steps to strengthen human rights in major new report
		The prominent place which the report about UN reform gives to human rights is a clear acknowledgement of the need to strengthen the protection of human rights in every country.
		With the necessary political will, this time of UN reform offers a rare opportunity to create an effective UN human rights body consistent with the promise of the UN Charter of a world where peace and justice prevails and all people enjoy all their human rights and fundamental freedoms without discrimination.
		The report proposes the creation of a new UN human rights body - a Human Rights Council - either as a new principal organ of the UN, which would require an amendment to the UN Charter, or as a subsidiary body of the General Assembly, which could be established under Article 22 of the Charter.

	Permanent Mission of Israel to the UN
		Nonetheless, the UN General Assembly passes annual resolutions that seek to prejudge the outcome of negotiations by proposing specific solutions to issues like Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, settlements, and other issues meant to be resolved through bilateral talks.
		Ironically, it was the UN Security Council that proposed these bilateral negotiations in Resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973), but the UN General Assembly undermines these resolutions every year.
		Though Israel can be elected to a UN body that has seats allocated through WEOG in New York, it is prevented from participating in Western group meetings outside of New York, and from nominating candidates to positions in UN bodies where elections for those bodies are not organized by the New York regional group system.

		If more people knew what the UN is doing to influence our lives and freedoms, the percentage of anti-UN feeling among Americans would have been much higher.
		In November, the UN ''World Summit on the Information Society" will meet to decide if the third world nations (most of which want to deny freedom of the press and freedom of expression) will control the Internet.
		There is no way to fix the UN, because to do so would require that the votes of the despots and dictators be taken away and the democracies who are routinely outvoted and shouted down be the only voting members.

	UN Report Slams Use of Torture to Beat Terror - by Thalif Deen
		The 19-page study, which is likely to go before the current session of the UN General Assembly in December, does not identify the United States by name but catalogues the widely publicized torture and humiliation of prisoners and detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan by U.S. troops waging the so-called "war on terrorism."
		According to the author of the 19-page UN report, "Torture, and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment," "The condoning of torture is, per se, a violation of the prohibition of torture."
		In view of the UN position, the appointment of Gonzales as the new U.S. attorney general is a slap in the face of the international community, says Matt Rothschild, editor of The Progressive magazine.

		Now, more than ever, the UN must play a critical role as it strives to fulfill the dreams and hopes and aspirations of its original promise to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, to reaffirm faith and fundamental human rights and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.
		In 1991, John was the principal architect behind the initiative that finally led the United Nations General Assembly to repeal the notorious resolution that equated Zionism and racism.

		What the UN really needs is real reform that benefits the institution as a whole, rather than serving various hidden policy agendas.
		The UN should follow the trend being forged by other international and supranational institutions and involve NGOs and other civil groups in decision-making to a greater extent, for example, allowing them to participate in working groups.
		The co-operation of a revitalised UN and other international bodies is essential if we are to achieve our poverty reduction goals and strengthen human rights beyond state level.
