Is it time for the UN to drastically rethink its policies?

In case you don’t know, the United Nations was formed after the League of Nations fell through. The LoN was formed after WWII to prevent another holocaust. However, it was poorly structured (the organization, not the building) and was later replaced by the United Nations.

Now the UN tries to act as the “therapist” for the rest of world, but lately it seems as though it is forgetting that it was originally established to protect innocent people from genocide. Case in point: Darfur.

The UN refuses to make any drastic attempts to help the people of Darfur for they believe in the concept of sovereignty. Sovereignty is the belief that a nation has the right to control a territory and anything within that territory. It is because of this that the UN refuses to make any decisive action toward freeing those being murdered en masse.

Now lets imagine that the UN was established during WWII. After Europe was freed from Germany’s grip, the concentration camps in those countries would have been disbanded. But not those in Germany. Because the UN would have believed that is Germany acted inside its own country there is nothing they can do.

Down in Africa, th United Nations is allowing another holocaust to happen, and they wont take any action to prevent it. The UN is neglecting to do what it was established to do, and because of that millions of innocent people are dying. Its time for the UN to actually step up and do something.
