    Kofi Annan is a Ghanaian diplomat who served two terms as the first black African secretary general of the United Nations. He and the United Nations co-received “2001 Noble Peace Prize” for their work regarding a better organized and more peaceful world. . In this essay the author states that he wishes people around the World would come together as they do for the World Cup and celebrate common humanity. Despite his impressive work at the UN, “Football Envy at the UN” by Kofi Annan is not a well written essay because the author uses a rather informal tone(.) The informal tone results in …. assumed thesis is a serious matter as he talks about the United Nations, he does not attempt to prove his claims with examples to back up his argument and lastly, his comparison of the UN to the World Cup and football is illogical as they are not very related. (the last sentence is a run on sentence, you might want to consider changing it. I tried to put a period after informal tone but I don’t know exactly how you want to set it up to flow coherently)…

    on Notice: U.S. Is ‘Taking Names” described her first day on the job. The article described Nikki Haley actions as she issued a severe warning to the United States allies and rivals. Nikki spoke on that the United States will move into the so called “America first” precedent. She discussed that her boss and his administration would hold to account those who do not back the United States. Nikki Haley one of the only females working for the Trump administration presented her diplomatic credentials to the secretary general, António Guterres. Antonio Guteress in fact a former socialist politician from Portugal who took over the United Nations at the start of the year. The UN is in a tough time because Guterres as the article described, is under pressure to persuade the Trump administration to not gouge the organization and to uphold America’s international obligations. Some of the international obligations, including climate change which was one of President Obamas greatest assets. In international relations we discuss many different relationships and how different nations deal with different councils. One of those councils is the Security Council. As the article explained, Haley’s appointment as ambassador to the United Nation comes at a rocky time for our global body. This is also in large part because of a December Security Council resolution condemning the Israeli settlements. These were strictly made possible by the abstention of the outgoing president’s administration. The United Nations as we learned in class, is the glue that keeps many countries thriving, but our new president Trump, has lamented how little the United Nations gives back compared to what the United States is putting in. When Haley was introduced and spoke in her first news conference it became evident that her boss means business and is hoping to focus less on forging powers and more…

    Basically she points out many inconsistencies and contradictions of UN charters and resolutions on international rule of law and sovereignty, claiming that despite the fact UN recognizes all states as equal formally, still Security Council grants veto power to only five most powerful states. Also the author claims UN charters are implicit and ambiguous, or even too broad making it possible for some states to interpret these internationally accepted laws and concepts in their own interest so that to avoid conflict and criticism. She also indicates the challenge for individuals to get access to law because of the lack of mechanism, however individuals can prove theirs right through a very few means within the international system. The author uses very important and clear quotes of UN charters and descriptions regarding rule of law and sovereignty, however she fails to mention that the U.S. also should comply with international rule of…

    The term United Nations was first spoken by the United States President of the time Franklin D. Roosevelt. The notion of an organisation of this intention was first created in January 1942 (during the second World War) when representatives of 26 nations pledged their Governments to continue fighting together against the Axis Powers. Three years later representatives of 50 countries met in San Francisco at the United Nations Conference on International Organisation to draw up the United Nations Charter. The Charter was signed on 26 June 1945 by the representatives of the 50 countries. Poland, which was not represented at the Conference, signed it later and became one of the 51 original Member States.The United Nations officially came into existence on 24 October 1945, when the Charter had been consummated by the five majority members that were; China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom and the United States. The current Secretary-General is Ban Ki-moon of South Korea, who took office on 1 January 2007. His first term expired on 31 December 2011.
