United Nations

So this week we talked about what happened post WWII and the creation of the UN. The UN is a peaceful international organization comprised of 193 countries. Their goals are to maintain international peace, promoting human rights, protecting the environment, and providing aid in cases of famine, national disasters, and armed conflict. They are supposed to prevent and stop a genocide from ever happening again, yet we have sen the UN fail in doing so with the Rwandan genocide. The main reason I believe that the UN will never successfully stop anything from war to genocide from happening is because they have no power. They are a peaceful organization, so they cannot physically stop countries from committing the things that the UN tries to prevent. I believe that in order for the UN to actually stop anything, they need to have UN bases in every participating country and create a military for each base. This will destroy the entire idea that its supposed to be peaceful, but I dont think that the UN will be able to function properly without it.
