There’s
no longer a superpower standoff. But there are real problems that divide countries
around the world. And the UN is still the place where we can get together and
try and discuss them
universality
of the UN is a worthwhile thing in its own self because it means that every country
belongs, feels it has a stake, and participates, rather than going away and finding
other methods of conducting international relations.
during
the Cold War, the United Nations brought about the extraordinary miracle of decolonization,
and it did help the Cold War from turning hot by actually creating, inventing
the whole idea of peacekeeping, which manage to defuse conflicts around the world
and prevented from igniting a superpower clash.
United
is an aspiration, but don't forget during the Cold War Stalin was a member of
the United Nations as the Soviet Union was, as was the U.S. It's a place where
countries can get together, tend to find common approaches to problems, and work
together to solve them. And where they disagree, they probably disagree really
under the roof of the United Nations than on the back of it.
