UN Power

Recently we have been talking a bit about the UN and its power after World War II. After WW2 there was a lot of questions as to how the people who perpetrated the Holocaust would be punished. Some people believed that they should be killed on the spot with no trial. After much deliberation the UN decided to hold a fair trial for the criminals of the Nazi party. When this decision was made and the trial happened, it gave immense power to the UN. The only problem that I can see with this power is the lack of power to enforce it. The UN may have a lot of power but they have no force that can make sure people follow those rules. I believe until the UN can enforce these rules, there power will be only a fraction of what its true potential is.
