Global socialism & the end of the world

If one needs proof that a global authority can not become truly relevant in the theater of world affairs until it usurps sovereign powers from its subject states' governments, one need look no farther than the record of accomplishments and failures resulting from the two modern day attempts to incept, deploy and sustain such organizations and the root causes of each.

In 1945, emissaries representing 50 different countries met in San Francisco and created the UN Charter. On Oct. 24, 1945, having been ratified by China, France, The Soviet Union, The United Kingdom, the United States, and a majority of the other countries that sent representatives to the original meeting earlier that year, the United Nations officially came into being, in great part in response to the failure of the League Of Nations to realize similar ambitions and the resulting devastation inflicted by World War II.

 In the years since then, the United Nations, like the League Of Nations before it, has consistently failed to accomplish its mission, which is stated in the U.N. charter as being to: *
bullet

maintain international peace and security,

bulletdevelop friendly relations among nations,
bulletcooperate in solving international economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian problems and in promoting respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and
bulletbe a center for harmonizing the actions of nations in attaining these ends.

             * Excerpted from www.un.org/aboutun/index.html

While claiming these lofty principles as their own, it is an understatement to say that the U.N. leaves much to be desired in their practice, as it does in so many ways. One can reasonably predict that the United Nations will bravely ignore or nobly run away from the situations where it is needed most while inexhaustibly inserting itself into affairs of sovereign states, situations, and theaters of operation in which no justification exists for its involvement.

Oh yes, much to be desired, my fellow Outragees, and much to be said... by you! Simply use the Reply link to respond to messages and join the conversation or the New Thread link to start a new thread.
