The United Nations: The Five Main Allied Nations
The five main Allied Nations: Great Britain, China, France, the United States, and the USSR created a committee that permanently was tasked with maintaining peace on a global scale and would be one of the highest assemblies in the United Nations structure, the Security Council (UN Security Council). There are five permanent members and another ten elected members from different countries, each with two-year term limit (UN Security Council). The organization may have started small, but grew rapidly to now include a total of 192 countries as being member states. The states that are not included in the Security Council are in the General Assembly. Each of these states are represented by an ambassador whose responsibilities are to see that their

    League of Nations and the United States

    Once World War I came to a close, many decided they never wanted to go through such a terrible war again. In fact, they even said that World War I was “the war to end all wars.” They wanted to bring peace throughout the nations, something that would ensure that they would never have reason to fight again, at least not nearly as bad as the Great War had been. President Woodrow Wilson was a strong supporter of a peace between all continents, even constructing a 14 Point Plan that would focus on bringing peace to the world. As a result, when the League of Nations came into being, he fully supported the Treaty of Versailles, which would not only induct the United States into the League, but also hold every single one of the signers to their promise of peace and unity. President Wilson brought this to the attention of the United States government, and though the Treaty of Versailles supported many of Wilson’s points from his 14 Point Plan, it was unsuccessful in passing. Though Wilson was very stubborn in trying to get the treaty passed, the strength of the opposing forces was too great, and Senate declined the passing of the treaty.…

    World War 1 and the Un

    In late June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist in Sarajevo, Bosnia. An escalation of threats and mobilization orders followed the incident, leading by mid-August to the outbreak of World War I, which pitted Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire (the so-called Central Powers) against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy and Japan (the Allied Powers). The Allies were joined after 1917 by the United States. The four years of the Great War--as it was then known--saw unprecedented levels of carnage and destruction, thanks to grueling trench warfare and the introduction of modern weaponry such as machine guns, tanks and chemical weapons. By the time World War I ended in the defeat of the Central Powers in November 1918, more than 9 million soldiers had been killed and 21 million more wounded. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, determined post-war borders from Europe to the Middle East, established the League of Nations as an international peace organization and punished Germany for its aggression with reparations and the loss of territory. Tragically, the instability caused by World War I would help make possible the rise of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and would, only two decades later, lead to a second devastating international conflict.…

    The Pros And Cons Of The Permanent Representative

    The other obligation of the Permanent Representative is to report all United Nations meetings to the State Department and the President at National Security Council meetings. The United States Department of State was originally founded in 1916 with the goal of, “… [shaping and sustaining] …a peaceful, prosperous…democratic world and foster conditions for stability…for the benefit of the American people and people everywhere” (US Department of State, Mission Statement). The State Department is concerned with numerous objectives, however, one of the most prominent one is in creating a stable environment for American interests and economics (U.S. Department of State-USAID FY 2014–2017 Joint Strategic Plan 1-40).

    Peace Enforcement

    The U.N.’s charter set out four primary goals: “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind . . . ; to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights . . . ; to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained; and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.” In order to promote these goals, the organizers established six different bodies. The Security Council, which consists of five permanent members (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and China) and ten rotating member countries, was given primary responsibility for international peace and security. The General Assembly, to which all members belong, decides budgetary matters and votes on policy issues. The other bodies are the Secretariat, the Economic and Social Council, the Court of Justice, and…

    moles and roles

    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. He was re-elected, unopposed, to a second term on 21 June 2011…

    the UN Secretary - general

    Secretaries-General serve for five-year terms that can be renewed indefinitely, although none so far has held office for more than two terms.[4] The United Nations Charter provides for the Secretary-General to be appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council. As a result, the selection is subject to the veto of any of the five permanent Members of the Security Council. While the appointment and approval process of the Secretary-General is outlined in the UN Charter, specific guidelines have emerged regarding the term limits and selection process. These include a limit to two five-year terms, regional (continental) rotation of the appointee’s national origin, and the appointee may not be a citizen of any of the Security Council’s five permanent members.…
