how are the league of nations and the united nations similar.?

Both turned into corrupt, cowardly tea-sipping debate societies instead of actually helping people.\n\nIn the 1930's, the LoN couldn't even decide to send a stern letter to Moussolini for invading Ethiopia, let alone call for an embargo or boycott.\n\nWitness the UN. They sat on their hands while 750,000 people were brutally murdered in Rwanda. They can't seem to find anything wrong in Sudan, where government sponsored forces have murdered over 1 million people. They sat idly by while UN troops raped women and children they were supposed to be protecting. They participated in the Oil-for-Food scandal that fed $25 billion back to Saddam. The UN Human Rights commission has some of the worst offenders as members.\n\nThe UN has achieved, like the LoN, it's point of absolute  uselessness. Time to get those freeloading do-nothings out of this country.\n\nLet us establish a League of free and democratic countries, and leave all the scummy little tyrants out of it.

They are doing as good job as the members in the UN let them to do especially those nations that have a veto vote. When they cannot agree the failure isnt just UNs fault but it also leans onto the veto nations in the UN. That include the US.

The UN has not succeeded in ANY of the the programs or points it was started for or tried to do in the whole time it has existed.  The only UN program that has done any good at all is UNICEF and that is because people donate to it.

International law is actually a set of treaties.  The UN has no jurisdiction over its member nations even if they have signed the treaty. \n\n The United States is currently the only country in the world whose law requires that treaties be honored.  If you are referring to the United States, you would have to get it on agenda of the supreme court.

Major differences between the EU and Hitler:\n\n1) EU does not want to rule Europe.\n2) EU does not blame problems on the Jews and institute genocide program against them.\n3) EU does not start wars killing millions of people to accomplish its goals.\n\nApart from that, they're practically identical.\n\nEarl: No, being a union does not imply rule.  Having an agreement with someone (basically what the EU is) does not mean you control them.

The organization is biased. Specifically, it is biased towards the 5 permanent members of the Security Council (Russia, United States, United Kingdom, France, China.) The Security Council passes some of the most important measures in the UN and is usually the one that prompts a serious international effort (not the general assembly as might be believed.) It has those 5 permanent members and 10 elected members. Yet if a measure goes to vote there and ends up 14 For and 1 Against, and the one "against" happens to be one of those 5 permanent members... The measure fails. \n\n14-1 and 1 wins. This is why the UN can't usually pass any serious measures. Most major world problems involve 1 of these 5 countries and therefore they and they alone can prevent any action against their interests by simply vetoing the resolution, regardless of world opinion.

The United Nations (UN) is an international organization whose stated aims are to facilitate co-operation in international law, international security, economic development, and social equity. It was founded in 1945 at the signing of the United Nations Charter by 50 countries, replacing the League of Nations founded in 1919.\n\nThe UN was founded after the end of World War II by the victorious allied powers in the hope that it would act to prevent and intervene in conflicts between nations and make future wars impossible or limited. The organization's structure still reflects in some ways the circumstances of its founding, which has led to calls for reform. The five permanent members of the UN Security Council, each of which has veto power on any UN resolution, are the main victors of World War II or their successor states: People's Republic of China (which replaced the Republic of China), France, Russia (which replaced the Soviet Union), the United Kingdom, and the United States.\n\nAs of 2006, there are 192 United Nations member states, including virtually every internationally recognized independent country. From its headquarters in New York City, the UN's member countries and specialized agencies give guidance and decide on substantive and administrative issues in regular meetings held throughout each year. The organization is divided into administrative bodies, including the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Secretariat, Trusteeship Council, and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), as well as counterpart bodies dealing with the governance of all other UN System agencies, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). The UN's most visible public figure, and the representative head, is the Secretary-General, currently Kofi Annan. On 13 October 2006, South Korean Foreign Minister Ban Ki-moon was approved by the United Nations General Assembly as the world body's eighth secretary-general and the first Asian to hold the post since 1971; Ban will assume the post on 1 January 2007.\n\nAims of the UN\n\nThe stated aims of the United Nations are to prevent war, to promote human rights, to provide a mechanism for international law, and to promote social progress and improved living standards. [6] It gives the opportunity for countries to balance global interdependence and national interests when addressing international problems. Toward this end it ratified a Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948....\n\n....In reality it's a w@nk-fest!! for want of a better word...\n\n...they will get their massive world army soon and when they do they will report to no one & they've already proved they cannot be kept in check! just go to the website in wikipedia...successes and failures...

Well the Security Council of the UN is investigating things like the genocide in the Sudan and the Iranian nuclear issue. It was formed by all of the member countries.

The United Nations is as useless as the League of Nations was.

The extent to which we satisfied our objectives was less than satisfactory.  We did put a halt to German submarine aggression in the North Atlantic, but Wilson's goals of forming a working League of Nations and having the US as a charter member were only partially realized.  The Leauge was formed, but the US Congress failed to adopt the Leaue's charter.  On the bright side, the US exited the war with relatively few casualties and its economic and physical infrastructures intact.  We had established ourselves as a super power.

The United Nations is a global government to which 191 nations belong. Your question makes no sense because there already is a "global government."

As if \nlol!\nEven though they founded the UN, and they house the UN, they seem incapable of working with the rest of the world at times!

Just like Iraq--whatever the UN authorizes.
