United Nations


"" .
             Humanity and technology are reaching a detrimental climax if they are allowed to go further unregulated. Winston Churchill himself said it best: "The stone age may return on the gleaming wings of science, and what might now shower immeasurable blessings upon mankind may even bring about its total destruction. Beware, I say; time may be short."" This forewarned destruction might seem impossible in a post-Cold War era, yet international law is still needed to prevent technological warfare. With the advancement of human weaponry, a system of just policing beyond a national level is needed.
             The United Nations had proven to both an effective and ineffective organization in the past. It governs a world that is far too diverse to completely control satisfy. It has often been manipulated by the powerful United States, and by organizations such as NATO and the Warsaw Pact in the past. Its future as an institution is not being questioned, however; it will remain a part of the world. Issues such as nuclear insecurity, economic instability, overpopulation, climactic dislocation and natural destruction threaten humanity's future.
             Therefore, though the United Nations is doubtlessly flawed, it is an essential means to ensuring a future global stability. It is currently ineffective in solving international disputes; however, humanity cannot afford to abandon a valuable institution for its imperfections. The United Nations, especially if its flaws are identified and corrected, will be necessary - along with its many supplementary agencies - in the future.
             On October 24, 1999, the United Nations turned fifty-four years old. It was an urgently needed child of a world that very nearly did reach the brink of annihilation during the Second World War. In 1941, during the height of the war, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt and U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill both realized that even the most powerful nations could no longer feel their future was secure.
