The West Should Rethink Its Role in the United Nations


Summary

The United Nations (U.N.), influenced significantly by non-democratic regimes, struggles to fulfill its mission effectively. Often blurring the lines between aggressors and defenders, it fails to take decisive actions against genocide and terrorism. Democratic nations find themselves sidelined, as rules and resolutions appear to favor oppressive states. In light of these issues, the West might consider stepping back from the U.N.

Introduction

The U.N. often requests cease-fires without distinguishing between attackers and defenders. In the case of Palestine, after its partition into Israeli and Palestinian states and the internationalization of Jerusalem, the aggressors seemed to benefit, raising concerns about the fairness of U.N. decisions.

Historically, the U.S. has acted without U.N. intervention, as seen in the Cuban Missile Crisis, where President Kennedy initiated a naval quarantine around Cuba. Similarly, when Vietnam intervened in Cambodia to stop the Khmer Rouge's genocide, the U.N. failed to hold its leaders accountable.

The War Against Israel

The U.N. has consistently ruled against Israel, labeling Zionism as racism in 1975 and passing numerous resolutions condemning Israel from 1967 onward, while not criticizing Arab states. The Human Rights Commission includes countries with poor human rights records, which in 2002 supported "armed struggle" for a Palestinian state.

Secretary-General Kofi Annan urged Israel to end occupation and use lethal force sparingly, yet overlooked the terrorism faced by Israelis.

Global Failures

In Somalia, the U.N. struggled to deliver food aid, leading to the tragic 1993 Battle of Mogadishu. Similarly, Dutch U.N. troops failed to prevent the Srebrenica massacre, and the U.N. was ineffective during the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

Despite warnings, decisive action against Iraq was blocked by member states, and the Iran-Iraq War saw the U.N. make only ineffective resolutions. Saddam Hussein's chemical attacks on Kurds were ignored, necessitating U.S. and U.K. intervention.

Scandals and Criticisms

The Oil-for-Food program, intended to aid Iraqis, was exploited by Saddam's regime, with U.N. officials allegedly complicit. Moreover, the International Criminal Court first investigated Tony Blair instead of notorious figures like Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden.

Before the September 11 attacks, the U.N. World Conference on Racism in Durban displayed anti-Western sentiment, labeling Israel as an apartheid state, and demanding reparations from the U.S.

Conclusion

The U.N. often includes states that support terrorism on its Security Council. Changes in its rules may increasingly allow internal genocides to go unpunished. The West should consider forming a new council focused on democratic principles, distinguishing between aggressor and defender, and upholding human rights.

The words of President Ford resonate: "Freedom is a value which must be fought for in every generation." It might be time for the West to establish its own path.
