Trying to keep the people in Haiti from killing each other, but if its the usuall UN mercenaries that are sent to poor countries , they are usually running the black market and houses of prostitution. UN troops are mostly from countries poorer than the countries they are helping, and the countries that send their trash are usually paid by rich countries like the U.S.

No I don't think the UN have been successful. When the people in Africa need the UN help to stop the war within itself the UN waited to long to help them. It is like us in the USA calling 911 and been told that we have to wait a week for the EMT to come and help. That is not right. If they are being asked for help then They need to help asap. Not when they feel is the right time. They are the world police.

Need help to improve the situation? Try joining your local United Nations Association (UNA). Good luck.

We could, it doesn't really do us any good.  They are a peacekeeping operation, not a peace-making...there is a big difference.  The UN is too soft on too many issues.  I respect their ideas, they just need to be able to back them up..and they are not in the position to do that.  All who are UN members need to back them up, and it doesn't happen.  It's good for diplomatic purposes, but as we have seen lately, there can even be corruption there.

To much concern for supposed abuses and torture taking place at Gitmo. There should never ever be secret or hidden POW prisons. I support the UN's position on this.

WHO is the specialized organizaton of UN. They are for sure trying to eradicate this virus. that is their area of work anyway.

You're spot on. The UN is acting as a country unto itself. Their inability to operate effectively is proof. They sit on their bloodstained hands when they are needed most and point fingers and accuse when they need to STFU and sit quietly. The graft and deception going on in the UN almost makes the governmental back room dealing a non-issue.

I think the US should withdraw from the UN.  It has become uneffective and is mostly funded by the US.   The vote for donation is out of wack.  Nowhere else do those with the cash bow down and humble themselves to those who have been proven failures.  IE... Soviets, France, Most of Africa, etc....\nMost of the countries in the UN are all mouth and no money or support to back it up.

lobby the government for nuclear disarmament, join organisations like ActionAid and Oxfam, volunteer abroad for a few years, work for a non-profit organisation, promote awareness of human rights abuses e.g. China, Haiti, Guantanamo Bay, Iraq... so much to do!

"...Many years will pass and some czars, mighty\nand those as not, will stop obeying that Court,\nthough considering it with words. They will act to their own\nwill..."\n\nThis XIX century prophesy could best describe UN. When it was established, UN did seem to have a purpose. The most sensitive purpose was to mediate in conflicts between countries. Today, it is rather a mechanism in the hands of those who are above it - the ones who finance it. UN officials are like parrots who have been tought how to evade provocative pinpointing questions.\n\nIf bending and playing blind to the mightier and violating own charters (like during their entire involvement in ex Yugoslavia, against the Serbs) is a way to survive as Organization; despite how poltronic and corruptive as it is, and still be capable to send a handful of food packages to the hungry children in Africa, although almost all of it would be taken away from the hands of the children by the local warlords there, then I guess some children won't die that day. That is one good purpose. \n\nTo the bottom line, just having a chance of being heard in UN, is extremely good today, in this era of mediatic manipulation. That is why some countries have been demembered from UN at some crytical times... Their voices were too damaging to some UN dark purposes... Evil is not always capable of looking at its own reflection on the mirror, and at times the mask of UN is needed.\n\nThere are some good people in UN. These people fight the bad people in UN. Sometimes the bad people are not "motivated," and the good people manage to do some good.

The UN has always been a joke.  Recent US actions didnt change that they just pointed out what we all already knew.  I am visiting Bosnia and all the places that were designated UN safe zones where everybody got murdered because they were foolish enough to trust the UN.  Until the UN actually shows it is competant enough to do something (anything) the US and other countries like Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia will just keep doing whatever they want whether you agree with these actions is another question.

I would like to see the United Nations become an agency with more teeth to it. It seems that most of the time, they sit around and talk and then after a few months of "You really ought to not do this or that", they get around to discussing possible sanctions, and ask permission to go see what may be going on. They don't act with enough authority. It would appear that any court of any of it's members could do a faster job of resolving a problem. (Maybe not to every ones satisfaction.) Why does it take the U.N so long? They need to become a world court that you don't mess around with.

The United Nations doesn't and will most likely never help the world.  It's a wasted organization that needs a lot less talk and a lot more action.
