For the 7th time, when UN could not stop the war
The war between Israel and Iran is the 7th time in history that the United Nations has failed to stop the war. Even the United Nations was not able to prevent war between Russia and Ukraine in 2022. The war still continues between the two countries. Due to the failure of the United Nations, 4 million people around the world have died in wars so far. Understand mathematics from the following points…
- America attacked Vietnam 10 years after the establishment of the United Nations. This war is known as Vietnam-America War. The United Nations failed to stop the attack. About 20 lakh people were killed in this war. Most of those killed were Vietnamese.
- In the late 1980s, the Iraqi army attacked Iran. Angry Iran declared war. The war continued between the two countries for about 8 years. About one million people died in this war. Even the United Nations failed to stop it.
- In 1994, civil war broke out in Rwanda. The Hutu majority attacked the Tutsi minority community there. The United Nations came into the field to broker a peace agreement, but by then the matter had progressed. 8 lakh people were killed in this massacre. In 2021, the President of France apologized for this.
- The Gulf War broke out in 1991. On one side America was ahead and on the other side Iraq was ahead. The war started over the sovereignty of Kuwait. About 50 thousand people from both sides were killed in this war. Iraq suffered the most damage.
What is the annual budget of the United Nations?
The total budget of the United Nations in 2024 is $3.59 billion (approximately Rs 3000 crore). The total amount of the United Nations in the year 2021 was 150 million dollars (Rs 1134 crore). The United Nations receives this amount in the form of donations from member countries. About 55 countries of the world regularly donate to the United Nations.
America is the largest donor to the United Nations. The UN spends this money on program implementation and staff salaries. The average salary of officials working in the United Nations Security Council is 98 thousand dollars per year. If we look at it in rupees then it is Rs 7 lakh per month.
According to the United Nations, its 37,000 employees are working to establish peace around the world.
Why is the United Nations unable to stop the war?
The biggest reason for the war not stopping is the policy of the United Nations. There are 193 countries associated with the United Nations, but only 5 countries which are dominated by America, Russia, France, Britain and China. According to the rules of the United Nations, only the permanent members will take major decisions. These permanent members are given the right to veto. If even one of these countries uses veto then the matter may come to a halt. Former UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali has criticized the system in his autobiography Unvanquished. According to Ghali, the UN cannot stop a war even if it wants to, because the veto power would not allow it to do so.
