for I dipped into the future far as the
human eye could see saw a vision of the
world and the wonder that it would be
till the war drums rub no longer and the
battle flags referred in the parliament
of man the Federation of the world
they’re the common sense of most shall
hold effect full real men are and the
kindly earth shall slumber lapped in
universal law now these are some of the
oft quoted lines from the poem Locksley
Hall written in 1837 by Alfred Lord
Tennyson and these portrays a concept
that’s been there since centuries the
concept of global governance that’s also
implicit in the Charter of United
Nations which begins with the words we
the peoples of United Nations the United
Nations is an organization that’s for
the people of the international
community
that works for us and that’s the very
topic that I am going to talk about
today whether the United Nations is a
failed reality or a beacon of hope since
the event of time there has been many
major regime changes socio-political
changes socio-economic changes and even
cultural changes Alexander the great
extended Greek hegemony over much of the
world this was followed by Roman
dominance after several centuries after
the fall of the rope Pax Romana which
was caused by influx of barbarian hordes
into the weakened Empire there was the
British Empire which had a point of time
hold about 23.84 percent of the world
there was the Mongolian Empire which was
the largest continuous line Empire in
world history the Middle Ages as we know
from the intriguing material vestiges of
that era battlemented fortresses and
castles and almost made war a way of
life for the rulers of the Western world
who acting to a light feudal system
affected much of the socio-economic
fabric of that time the European Vanessa
hears through the obscurity of the Dark
Ages and did much you mine the human
spirit but it did nothing to dispel the
ugly shadows of war in the century prior
to the creation of the UN there were
several international organizations and
international treaty conferences
form such as The Hague conventions of
1899 and 1907 the International
Committee of the Red Cross in 1863 or
the first embryonic world Parliament
which was formed by William Handel
Kramer and Frederick passive following
the horrendous loss of life in First
World War the Paris Peace Conference
through the Treaty of Versailles
established the League of Nations when
the League of Nations was established
one point of contention was article 10
of the covenant of League of Nations now
article 10 mentioned it necessary that
for all members had to provide military
aid to the leave when the league saw
authorizes it to be for protecting the
territorial integrity or the political
independence of any member whose
political independence is at Geopark
however according to the US Constitution
only the US Congress has the right to
declare war whether America is in war or
not or whether America sends foreign
troops to a foreign land or not since
troops were far inland or not so this
article was directly in contradiction to
the USS Constitution the United States
Senate the United States Congress
approve of proposed certain reservations
to the Covenant to the article 10 of the
covenant however the league never agreed
to that
which is why though the League of
Nations was something that was
formulated out of President Woodrow
Wilson’s fourteen points since the US
Senate never ratified the covenant of
League of Nations the United States
government never joined the League of
Nations but the provision got ratified
of course secondly because the founders
of the United Nations for most part they
desire to save succeeding generations
from the scourge of war and the belief
that it was necessary to for actual
suppression of acts of aggression rather
than opposition to our simply
condemnation of such acts as was
mentioned in the covenant of ego nations
now they for most part had seen people
dictators like Kaiser and Hitler they
knew that they were super far like case
if a superpower like United States would
have intervened into this Wars this
words wouldn’t have existed video or
these words might not have taken in the
first place if Kaiser would have known
that US would intervene he might not
have altered with Belgian neutrality or
if Hitler would have known that US would
intervene for the same reason he
wouldn’t have entered
so they they believe they strongly
believe that it was Ness
necessary to mention in the UN Charter
that there needs to be actual
suppression of acts of aggression and
which led to the guiding principles of
the UN Charter
in fact since World War two all
discussions that has taken place in
multilateral forums it has respected the
process of national sovereignty as
defined by Montevideo convention or
Westphalian peace treaty of 1646 and
also the has respected constitutional
processes in fact NATO and Warsaw Pact
made it very clear that parties need to
carry out provisions of cold war in
accordance with constitutional processes
the role of United Nations over the past
seventy three years of its existence has
been quite constructive and helpful for
example it has carried out withdrawal of
foreign troops in Iran in 1947
established its first peacekeeping
mission in Suez in 1956 which also
carried out ceasefires and truces in the
Suez region Kerry has installed a u.s.
force a UN force in Gaza Strip and the
Gulf of Aqaba region in 1957 which
actually converted the Palestine region
for a period of about 10-15 years from
being overtly explosive to relatively
quiet and it also arranged for
ceasefires and truces in Indonesia in
1947-48 in Kashmir in 1948 an
incongruence press in 1964 there has
also been efforts of the United States
of the United Nations to release you in
Korean War prisoners held in mainland
China or to authorize a UN resolution
for sanctioning a us-led coalition to
repeal the North Korean invasion on
South Korea in 1950 in fact this is a
very prominent example that still
discussed within the hallowed halls of
UN because it was a time when the USSR
was boycotting the meetings of the
Security Council because it wanted the
People’s Republic of China to become a
member of the Council which at that
point of time was Taiwanese government
or the Republic of China so this has
become quite a prominent example of
Security Council taking a very important
decision without the presence of a
permanent member there have been other
examples of successful UN action as well
in fact there has been times when the
United Nations has not acted but still
it proved to be useful for maintaining
international peace and security in 1958
for example when
government of Lebanon was in the was in
the face of an imminent danger of being
subverted sabotage by individuals who
have been paid directed and equipped
from outside the country then US
President Eisenhower who offered the
event to forestall the event send US
troops to the region to develop to the
region of Lebanon with the permission of
the governed government of Lebanon in
the month of June that you and we drew
the troops in September that year after
the subversion was averted now this was
done to censure the United States in the
United Nations however just before the
vote was about to take place in the
General Assembly the motion of the
sponsor withdrew the motion because he
realized because the country realized
that it wouldn’t be able to muster
enough votes in the General Assembly but
if this motion would have passed then we
could have seen other attempts of such
subversion at being attempted by smaller
states which would have been very
detrimental to international peace and
security
so the United Nations played a very
decisive role in this regard there has
been other examples of successful UN
action as well such as establishing a
large military presence in Congo to
restore order to the breakaway state of
Katanga in fact DAG hammarskjöld the
former secretary-general lost his life
when he was enroute to Congo to solve
the crisis there and in fact the Congo
military operation of un was one of the
largest military operations of its
earlier decades
this also establishment of arms control
promotion of international law and
assuring former colonies into the world
of sovereign states the United States
also played a decisive role in bringing
an end to the Salvadoran Civil War or to
to oversee the democratic elections in
post apartheid South Africa or post
hemorrhage Cambodia or as it’s so useful
it is during the Gulf crisis now the
United Nations over the past decades has
played the role of a center of being
quite diplomacy it has become a training
school for diplomats from all over the
world if there is a will to harmonize it
provides the center and a staff for the
people for the diplomats to resolve that
crisis as it so usefully did in the Gulf
crisis in 1991 in fact after being
paralyzed for decades because of the
Cold War tensions the Security Council
suddenly both
onto the scene in 1991 and started
passing resolutions condemning the
regime of Saddam Hussein the United
Nations has also played a very useful
loan in economic and social development
arena which is one of its secondary
goals over the past five years it has
administered over 1.2 billion dollar in
development aid another 2.4 billion
dollar in follow-up funds for the
receive countries so a total of four
point two billion dollars in development
aid for the for the countries to build
up their capacity to build up their
socio-economic infrastructure the
Bretton Woods institutions that was also
formed at the same time as the UN which
are specialized agencies of the UN
system such as the World Bank Group or
the International Monetary Fund even
they have been helpful and in fact over
the past 10 years they have known over
20 billion dollars through these
countries which is a new high for the
Bretton Woods institutions and this of
course takes into account the basic
necessities such as food shelter
medicine education and other economic
necessities so such is the record of the
UN in a capsule form the mammoth record
of the UN in a capsule form little of it
would have happened if not for the
United Nations all the agencies of the
UN all the 26 specialized agencies
funding programs research institutes
have made the world a better place to
live in a better place than it was
yesterday after the aftermath of the
world war two and world war one yet
there has been opinion polls which show
that there has been a sharp decline for
support of the United Nations and
unfortunately so since 1958 since 1998
and it says that there has been a sharp
decline from 82 percent to 58 percent
people believe that the achievements of
the UN do not counterbalance the many
Follies that that it has or the failures
of its peacekeeping missions on ground
such as the failure of its peacekeeping
mission of its peacekeeping mission
getting indulge in sexual violence in
Bosnia and Herzegovina in fact Americans
believes that the United Nations did
nothing to end the Vietnam War or that
the words of the Charter of suppression
of acts of aggression is just a dead
letter or that voting in the UN does not
correspond to the ability of carrying
out the measures that’s been voted upon
or that there is an alarming tendency to
consider question not on the basis of
merits but on the basis of blocks to
vote as blocks an initiative which might
quite dangerously and
quite effectively pulverized support in
the UN for various regional groupings
that there have been other petty
annoyances as well and one of the most
important concerns of the UN recently
for many Secretary General’s over the
past 20 years has been the member states
powerful member states not paying its
share of expenses to the UN other petty
annoyances such as the lateness and
stocking of meetings or the wind Innis
of the Oratory or the wind nests of the
Oratory or the general lack of relevance
in the much too lengthy so-called
debates in fact I can recount one
experience I happen to be to UN
headquarters in New York last year and I
was going to the UN I took a cab and the
cab driver asked me like why am I going
to the UN and I told him that you know I
am going for a Model UN conference and
he was like oh that’s another
that America takes part in so that
that’s the view that Americans
unfortunately hold of the United Nations
well then the UN is working through its
various departments to outdo that view
that the American people all over the
world hold about the UN there have been
other uncomplimentary things told about
the United Nations as well such as when
the United Nations and these are quite
unexpected such as when the United
Nations beers pressure on a nation and
the pressure is effective the nation
resents it but when the United Nations
doesn’t do anything it appears to be
preposterous and farcical so basically
as one distinguished American pointed
out and I was reading this in an article
by an essays the famous essays that the
United Nations is a do-it-yourself kit
with all the pieces missing but then
that’s the way the contemporary
geopolitical relations work but there
has been talks about reforms of the
United Nations since the late 1990s
there has been talks about reforming the
highest stage of all diplomacy which is
the Security Council there have been
proposals by g4 by UFC of another
category of membership and there has
also been proposals of reforming the
working methods of Security Council and
then there has been talks about
reforming the membership of Human Rights
Council or dealing with the the way the
General Assembly works or the Economic
and Social Council works doing away with
the trusteeship Council as per the
reports of enlarge your freedom by Kofi
Annan former secretary-general and also
dealing with the revitalize
of the military staff committee which is
the only subsidiary body established by
the UN Charter but that there has been
lots of proposals by member states or by
think tanks NGOs about how to reform the
UN but there has been no real
negotiation basically all hats and no
cattle but fortunately in 2015 the
United Nations adopted a
intergovernmental process and takes West
negotiations which provides a way ahead
and which is surely a beacon of hope and
in fact in 2016 for the first time in
the history of the organization the
election of the secretary-general was
carried out by public debates where the
candidates for section ship had to lay
out what their plans are for reforming
the UN or for reforming other for
working on other aspects of United
Nations in fact it in a way did away
with the papal sort of election that the
SEC originally had where all the
election was done in closed doors and it
resembled the way the Pope is selected
in Vatican where we can only know how
the Pope is selected by the brown few
more the white few more on the top of
the Vatican so there has been talks but
there has been no real negotiation
however we believe that we can work on
that and so there the United Nations is
not the end to itself it’s a means to an
end
it’s not the sole peace sole instrument
for maintaining global peace
there are many regional organizations in
fact in the recent years they unite the
European Union has been coordinating
actively with the with the United
Nations say you in fact has an enhanced
observer status in the General Assembly
there is and there is recently the
United Nations joint launched a joint
hybrid operation with the African Union
in that food to solve the crisis in
South Sudan since the late nineteen
hundreds this process of cooperating
with the since the late 1990s this
process of cooperating with regional
organizations has started and it started
with war in Afghanistan in 2001 when
though the Security Council was the one
to authorize the us-led invasion but it
was actually overseen and carried out by
NATO
so the United Nations is simply the best
hope that we have for maintaining peace
and security for giving the best hope
for mankind and the United Nations
has not stopped conflicts but it has at
least prevented them from becoming
bigger ones and as former secretary and
a comics world had rightly pointed out
the United Nations was not created to
take mankind to heaven but to save
humanity from hell
so parliamentary diplomacy has rightly
proved its what the United Nations makes
a difference between life and death if
not for the United Nations we wouldn’t
have been in such a stable world not
effectively stable but at least stable
than what it was before
so rather than criticizing it I believe
that we must work towards reforming it
towards in regarding invigorating it was
modernizing it and make of it what
diplomats called to be a perfect
something that the governments must
recognize with must reckon with and
something that is an effective tool
prevent the world from getting worse or
even take a chance in making it better
and as again former secretary and dag
amongst all had pointed out everything
will be alright you know when when the
people just people stop thinking of UN
as a weird Picasso abstraction and think
it of drawing that they made themselves
and as Norman cause cousins rightly
pointed out if the United Nations is to
survive those who represent it must
bolster it those who advocated must
submit to it and those who believe in it must fight for it thank you so much
for I dipped into the future far as the
human eye could see saw a vision of the
world and the wonder that it would be

battle flags referred in the parliament

a comics world had rightly pointed out
the United Nations was not created to
take mankind to heaven but to save
humanity from hell
so parliamentary diplomacy has rightly
proved its what the United Nations makes
a difference between life and death if
not for the United Nations we wouldn’t
have been in such a stable world not
effectively stable but at least stable
than what it was before
so rather than criticizing it I believe
that we must work towards reforming it
towards in regarding invigorating it was
modernizing it and make of it what
diplomats called to be a perfect
something that the governments must
recognize with must reckon with and
something that is an effective tool
prevent the world from getting worse or
even take a chance in making it better
and as again former secretary and dag
amongst all had pointed out everything
will be alright you know when when the
people just people stop thinking of UN
as a weird Picasso abstraction and think
it of drawing that they made themselves
and as Norman cause cousins rightly
pointed out if the United Nations is to
survive those who represent it must
bolster it those who advocated must
submit to it and those who believe in it must fight for it thank you so much
