I still wonder why no one can vote out a permanent security council member who literally started an unprovoked war with it’s neighbour. It’s literally like that could easily be a rule that if a vote is unanimous and the veto would be revoked.

The league as you call it, was started by the Rothchild and Rockefellers, the banking families who sought to be a perfect opportunity for them to start working towards a one world government and one world currency of unelected elite.. 25:30 black budget goes missing ? lol !? the banks absolutely know. The currency isn’t taken out in gold bullion… Lol all trackable traceable. The banks absolutely know, however they allow it… because the banks , the money printers who control everything, allow them to lose the money because the banks Rockefellers Rothchild run everything through non-government organizations such as the council on foreign relations that United Nations NATO and the world economic forum.
It’s a good general overview, with clear and understandable language. Yes, I WOULD like to see more of these. I would also appreciate a series of videos on each of the organs within the UN body, highlighting what they have done since their establishment, as well as what (if anything) they are doing now. Because, like many of its member states, this organization seems to be reluctant to address some of the global issues we currently face. Perhaps a comparison of situations where they have taken action vs. those where they have refused or failed to act would give a better understanding of the current structure?
It would also be nice to have explainers about how other intergovernmental organizations and governments with jurisdiction over very large numbers of people operate.
@Old Soldier The UN has been reluctant to solve global issues because of its member states. They aren't as much of a independent organization as you think.
@@IkeOkerekeNews That’s why I want to know more. I thought the whole PURPOSE of the UN was to hold each other accountable on a global scale, and put major global concerns above problems facing individual nations, as well as to negotiate solutions for issues BETWEEN member nations, without impinging on any nation’s sovereignty within its own borders. But, at present, what little I hear makes them seem about as effective as my own government in the U.S..
The UNSC allowed the genocide of Ukraine by giving putin the Soviet permanent VETO while India, Africa and all of Latin America only had the Soviet Union protection for a century until it collapsed. 🙄
yes i would absolutely love more videos on the UN. it's a body that doesnt get talked about as much as it should and getting more public attention to the body makes reform of it more likely.

So to summarize: - General Assembly: everyone states their opinion and try to agree on a general (non legally binding) direction - Security council: keeps peace between the major powers and passes legally binding decisions - Economic and social council: focuses on planning and deciding economic and social policies of many different forms and levels - UN Secretariat: uses all resources it can to implement the decisions and reinforce policies with actual action and missions - Trusteeship: guides and monitors unstable member states towards an agreed-upon future (temporarily on-hold)
The Security Council permanent members can veto anything (esp. anything against a member or one of their friends). This is why Israel has 45 UN resolutions against it but only one of them have been mandated by the Security Council in effect making the other 44 worthless. If you have friends in the permanent 5 SC members then your country doesn't need to worry about what the UN thinks or says.

Buthan is objectively not Equal to the PRC CostaRica is objectively not Equal to the US Estonia is objectively not equal to the Russian Federation not even with NATO backing This ridiculous notion that you can hold globe-spanning empires with enough power to wipe out entire continents as equal to everyone else is utter stupidity How do expect to pass laws against a superpower by a simple majority vote of nobodies and not expect it to promptly withdraw ?, taking a number (even if not all) of its allies with it, damaging the legitimacy of the organization, and denying the world of a platform where the most powerful states in history can talk out their differences across a table rather than fight them out on the battlefield. Thankfully the UN knows this which is why it has lasted longer than the League of Nations. Let the Superpowers Veto with words that we know they'd certainly veto with blood, there's no point in pretending otherwise. The UN offers a forum for the great powers to talk rather than fight and for that alone it has accomplished the very first principle of the UN charter... Prevent a Great War. And to me (and apparently the UN itself), that is far more important than being able to sanction Israel or Condemn Russia's Actions in Ukraine or Try US presidents or what ever stupid fairy tales people think is actually possible. the Trying US President for war crimes or whatever one always makes me laugh. I'm not even an American but I would love to see someone dumb enough to try and lay a hand on a Superpower's Leader
Remember that what signalled the death of the League of Nations was the sentiment that it was unfairly favoring certain member states above others (which was proven true through the Italian-Ethiopian war and other conflicts during the time), and that its mission to prevent global conflicts was a failure. Ignore this and the UN will share a similar fate sooner or later

Generally speaking, since any of the original member states (none of which are on the same page at any give day), can effectively veto literally anything, the UN is about as effective as the League of Nations was.
do you have something similar on british local politics or how the various political areas of british politics works? would be helpful if they aren't lumped together but separated would make them easy to rewatch over and over if necessary
My understanding before watching: The UN is an amalgamation of nations, a forum to air grievances and to discuss and solve problems before anything bad happens, although Saudi Arabia was on the Human Rights council for a long time until recently and China currently is sooo, i don't know, seems more like political theater than any actually important things happening, i mean if they elect a country like Saudi Arabia and China to the "HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL" counties with a very poor human rights record, then that does not inspire confidence. My opinion after: not much has changed.
Besides the point that you always should have both sides at the table (how are you gonna hear his reasoning or overbring your point of view?), you also clearly nit picking with your argumentation since human rights abuses are prevalent in way more countries than you liked to choose. So you're basically saying that countries with alleged abuses shouldn't be able to address concerns in other countries and basically give them a free pass out of jail, just because you like them more. Pretty immature thinking of you'd ask me
@@John_Doe448 The body of the Human Rights Council is to designate when Human rights are being infringed upon, basically they inform the UN of human atrocities and how bad it is and take appropriate actions, they're also supposed to promote and protect human rights around the world. How are they supposed to do their jobs when their members are human rights abusers themselves and claim what they're doing isn't genocide? China calls it's genocide "reeducation", they also torture people, America got its torture program from a Chinses guide book on the topic, they also oppress their population brutally being the one nation with the most execution committed in the world. Israel claims it's been fighting terrorists by killing civilians since 1967, and Saudi Arabia executes people for sorcery and witchcraft coupled together with them committing a genocide in Yemen and treat women like second class citizens, it does not paint a pretty picture for these countries being on the UN Human Rights Council. I am unable to mention all countries that commit human rights violations because there are to many to mention but having these bad actors in a body designed to protect human rights just to hear their opinion on human rights and giving them a change to slap down decisions made by the human right council isn't my idea of a productive/effective way to protect human rights the opposite is true. How about this, i wasn't defending certain countries for their human atrocities committed but i was more making an argument for why no country partaking in the abuse of human rights should ever be able to sit on the UN Human Rights Council. The reason i mention Saudi Arabia and China is because they're among the more egregious when it comes to Human Rights. Please tell me again how my thinking is immature again daddy big brains.
My biggest gripe with the UN security council is that the People republic of China has a permanent seat “as an ally” even though the communist party actively fought AGAINST the allies in World war 2. The seat should be given back to the Republic of China (I.E Taiwan) who was an ally.
Considering one of the main purposes of the UN is to keep any the 5 main WWII Allies/Nuclear powers from getting so mad at the UN that they walk away from the table, I’d say less. In practice all 5 of them have an alternative “veto” which is starting WWIII, so much better to just accept that the UN can’t do anything the 5 of them can’t agree to at least grudgingly allow than to back one of the allies into a corner where they’d turn to more...drastic...objections.
