this alliance met in San Francisco to
the United Nations is an organization
that depending on your perspective is
either a pointless waste of money
the harborage are the Antichrist in the
New World Order or an organization for
the peace and stability of the modern
world but what exactly is the UN after
World War one President Woodrow Wilson
tried to stop an organization called the
League of Nations it was designed to be
an organization to stop international
conflict before it starts and when it
did occur to end it swiftly however this
didn't work out so well as Wilson
underestimated the diplomats and heads
of state of Europe and failed to consult
the US Senate who would be the ones
ultimately voting for it the league
would be created but without the United
States joining it it would be seen as a
failure after it failed to prevent the
Second World War
despite the league failing the idea of
an international body that strove for
peace among nations was still desired by
many countries especially after World
War two the United Nations originated
out of a declaration drafted by
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Winston Churchill the
members of the United Nations were to
pledges itself to employ its full
resources military or economic against
those members of the tripartite pact and
its adherence with which such government
is at war it began its life as a
military alliance 26 nations signed this
initial declaration as world war ii drew
to a close nations around the world
scrambled to join the United Nations out
of fear that they would be left out of
the biggest military alliance in world
history in April 1945 the members of
draft a charter for a post-war
organization of the same name the United
Nations of today would officially come
to existence on October 24th 1945 with
51 members as decolonization occurred
over the course of the 20th century more
and more nations would be admitted there
are six main bodies that make up the
United Nations the face of the UN is the
General Assembly whenever you hear
about
some random country saying something
crazy it usually comes out of this body
this body is similar to the lower house
of Congress and that it creates budgets
and approves new members to join they
are also responsible to elect the
administrative head of the United
Nations to Secretariat the secretary is
headed by the UN Secretary General who
is elected to five-year terms their job
is to administer the various bodies of
the UN and serve as the public face of
the organization the true core power for
the United Nations
in the Security Council which is a body
of 15 Nations that are responsible for
maintaining peace and security
the council has five permanent members
which originally contained the United
States the United Kingdom France the
Soviet Union and the Republic of China
the Republic of China was replaced by
the People's Republic of China in 1971
and the Russian Federation succeeded to
the Soviet Union seat in 1992 the other
ten members of the Security Council are
elected by the General Assembly for
two-year terms with five new members
being elected each year countries that
are terming out are not eligible for
immediate reelection these 15 members
are divided between five groups the
African the Asian Pacific Eastern
European the Latin American and
Caribbean and the Western European and
others group the five permanent members
of the Security Council are divided
amongst these groups the u.s. the UK and
France are included in the Western
European and others group leaving two
rotating seats Russia occupies one of
the Eastern European seats leaving one
rotating and the People's Republic of
China occupies one of the three
asia-pacific seats the Security Council
has its own president which rotates
between members on a month-by-month
basis each member getting to hold the
presidency once every 15 months the
council votes on potential military
actions and is the only body of the UN
that has the ability to pass binding
resolutions it is also one of the most
highly criticized organs of the UN
though all 15 members of this council
have a vote the five permanent members
each have a veto and therefore can
prevent any action made by the committee
this is why there are so few major
military operations by the United
Nations and none of these operations are
made directly against any permanent
members this deadlock became inevitable
after the Korean War when the Soviet
Union protested the actions of the
Security Council by not showing up to
vote this led to the only UN action
against a permanent member when they
approved a us-led invasion of Korea to
stop the Soviet backed North against the
South since then the Soviet Union
followed by Russia never abstained from
using their veto then there is the
International Court of Justice which
arbitrates disputes between different
nations as well as hold international
trials against dictators and human
rights abusers the court has 15 judges
elected for nine year terms with the
same regional distribution as the UN
Security Council there is all
the UN Economic and Social Council which
attempts to promote and regulate
cooperation between member states and
areas of social and economic issues and
as 54 members that are elected by the
General Assembly to three-year terms the
last major body of the UN is the
trusteeship Council this body was
originally designed to manage the former
League of Nations mandates this body has
been inactive since the last mandate
Palau gained independence in 1994 so
there you have it six bodies two
legislative one administrative one
judicial one policy and one defunct all

understanding the dimensions of
sustainable development by endorsing
agenda 2030 and its 17 goals the world
community has reaffirmed its commitment
to sustainable development to ensure
sustained and inclusive economic growth
social inclusion and environmental
protection and to do so in partnership
and peace agenda 2030 is universal
transformative and rights-based it's an
ambitious plan of action for countries
the UN system and all other development
actors the agenda inspires us to think
creatively about the sustainability
challenges of today so we can develop
the right partnerships and take the
right actions at the heart of the agenda
are five critical components people
prosperity peace partnership planet
these in turn underpin the 17
sustainable development goals and are
applicable in all countries agenda 2030
and the SDGs are not simply items on a
checklist they represent a holistic
approach to understanding and tackling
problems by guiding us to ask the right
questions at the right time to achieve
this we need to consider several
challenges in order to work out how they
connect with and impact upon each other
finding these in dependencies helps us
to address the root causes of problems
and to create long-term solutions so how
does this work
sustainable development is usually
viewed through a lens of three core
elements economic growth social
inclusion and environmental protection
but it's important to remember that
these are not just categories or boxes
they are connected and have aspects in
common for example a health challenge
like tuberculosis is not only determined
by an unhealthy lifestyle it could also
be influenced by other factors such as
poverty or air quality to develop this
approach a step further to critical
dimensions that will drive agenda 2030
were adopted by member states
partnership and peace partnerships that
strengthen the capacities of all
stakeholders to work together peace
justice and
institutions are essential for
improvements in the three core areas
genuine sustainability sits at the
center and it will be important to
consider each of the SDGs through the
lens of these five dimensions of course
we can't consider every possible angle
of a single challenge that's why it's
crucial to build partnerships to share
knowledge and expertise to learn how we
can jointly address challenges this
requires new ways of working together
focused on co-creation national
ownership is fundamental to address
challenges properly many organizations
and actors have an important role to
play their involvement ensures long-term
engagement and guarantees that no one is
left behind the universal nature of
agenda 2030 also asks us to look at the
planet as one every country every
community has issues to address and
everyone shares the responsibility and
ownership to address the challenges that
face us collectively to move forward we
must develop the right capacities for
agenda 2030 we need to invest in
lifelong learning to be able to advocate
for change
foster action for implementation measure
progress and to identify and empower new
partners to support agenda 2030 we all
need to lead the way towards the vision
of a better world within our lifetime
because only if we ask the right
questions and seek the right answers and
only if we take our responsibilities
seriously will we be able to achieve a
truly transformational agenda leaving no
one bite
