The United Nations (UN) is one of the most important organizations in the world. It really makes the world go round. As we have seen in this unit, interdependence is defined as the dependence of two distinct entities (whether people, things, or in this case, countries) on each other . Today, as far as the UN is concerned, there are over a hundred different countries all depending on each other to guarantee their basic rights, freedoms and needs. Using democratic tactics to prevent conflict, the UN contributes to elections around the world, provides food to 90 million people in more than 75 countries, and helps more than 34 million refugees worldwide. Not to mention the positive impulse of globalization that they support. However, it is essential to note that while the United Nations confirms that every country helps other countries, it is also essential that no country can directly interfere in internal affairs. All participating countries must help the global world and, in doing so, become dependent on the aid they receive. A mandate that can serve as an example is the peacekeeping mandate. Peacekeepers are men and women who travel to countries in crisis to provide aid to citizens and help resolve the conflict. Their mandate states that they are too: to stop the spread/epidemic across borders, stabilize conflicts, assist in the implementation of peace and lead the state towards stable government. Nowhere in the mandate does it say that they must intervene with civilians or go against what is best for the country in any way. By providing aid, countries have a better chance of achieving a united nation. Likewise, many UN-led agencies support interdependence. Take for example the Ministry of Food and Agriculture... middle of paper ... what they can, but never more than they need. Indeed, this could have negative consequences for themselves. However, at the UN, it's all about equality and justice, regardless of what seems best for an individual. I would like to think that the UN has a bright and joyful future. It is clear that there will never be 100% smooth navigation. Natural disasters, terrorism, disagreements and wars will probably always exist. However, so far the UN has done a lot to reduce the effects of all the problems we see in the world. Some things may never be fully resolved, but there always has to be a source trying. The UN has reduced many of the problems we face every day, such as poverty, child and maternal mortality and hunger. As more and more entities come together to fight towards the same goal, I believe the future of the UN is strong and stable..
