[size=15pt]Preamble - UN Charter[/size]

---

WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED
to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has
brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person,
in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and
to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from
treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and
to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom …

Or to be precise... is it being followed?

They try to, bu National Interest supersedes all other objectives.

abubaka101: They try to, bu National Interest supersedes all other objectives.

The internal setting is really causing the conflict. With just 5 people to make final decisions is a heartache.

The UN is like a confederal unit of autonomous states with a weak centre.Ideals and objectives of member states directly influences the decisions that can be implemented.

The UN has tried or is still trying to be the one umbrella body where world powers,emerging powers and superpowers submit to to see a world of peace,freedom and dignity.
