What UN Reform could be suitable for the New World Order?
by TA Ramesh
Reforming and
empowerment of the UNO still remain as a dream. Without reforms this
world body cannot function effectively and powerfully to solve world
problems that cannot be solved otherwise by any other means. So, this is
the main work that has to be given importance by all the nations of the
world because of proliferation of nuclear weapons spreading everywhere
and international terrorism going out of control because of the
unilateral actions taken by the Super Power, USA and other coalition
partners in Afghanistan and Iraq without much success according to their
expectation.
For the past six decades after the World War II, UNO is not reformed so
far. Also according to the changes of the world, even international law
has not been effectively amended to suitably deal with the world issues.
As a result, UNO is not able to play a central or vital role in the
affairs of the world, but merely functions like a discussion club.
Defects of UNO
All the
nations are considered to be equal in the United Nations
Organization. But in practice, the advanced countries are still
dominating over the developing and weak countries of the world.
Though helpless, the UNO is functioning unmindful of this practice.
The veto
power of the permanent five member nations is hampering the
implementation of important decisions taken by the majority of the
nations.
Because
it is not economically and militarily empowered, UNO is not able to
1. enforce law on any nation in the world,
2. prevent or solve Israeli-Palestine conflicts even after many
years in the Middle East, and
3. alleviate poverty; provide good governance by democracy,
education to eliminate ignorance, and drinking water and sanitation
to maintain the hygiene of the people paving the way for the
socio-economic development of the African countries.
Also, due
to this defect, UNO is not able to implement the objectives for the
development of the world towards unity, peace, prosperity and
progress desired by many nations of the world. That is why, many
issues like disarmament and destruction of WMD, NPT, CTBT and
international terrorism are not effectively dealt with by passing
suitable resolutions in the UNO.
Remedy for the Problems of
UNO
In the
changed world scenario after the cold war and the 9/11 terrorist
attacks, the expansion of the UN Security Council with the inclusion
of new nations such as Brazil, South Africa, Germany, India,
Indonesia and Japan as permanent members along with the already
existing permanent five member countries is a necessity now to make
it more democratic and representative of the world in order to
effectively deal with the problems of the world today and face the
challenges of tomorrow in the 21st century.
The veto
power should be abolished. It should be made imperative that the
approval of two-thirds majority of the council members is necessary
to decide about any issue that comes to the UNO.
For
running the affairs of the UNO, funds should be contributed by all
the nations of the world by way of collecting tax from their peoples
or by other means possible such as through trade, tourism, exports,
etc.
A world
army should be established by recruiting soldiers from all the
nations of the world and this world army should be used to expel the
army that occupies the territory of other country, keep peace after
cease-fire is declared anywhere and help or assist other countries
in the times of disaster due to natural calamities etc.
A
world police force should also be formed by recruiting police
personnel from all the nations of the world; and if any issue comes
for justice, they should be used to enforce law in any country of
the world as per the decree passed by the international court of
justice.
By
passing suitable resolution nuclear weapons should be removed from
all the nations of the world and kept in the store of the UNO with
proper security so that they may be used for destroying asteroids in
order to avoid their collision with the Earth resulting in largest
disaster in the future.
By
maintaining peace, ameliorative works such as alleviation of
poverty, spread of education to all the parts of the world,
providing jobs to all, developing works such as investing funds in
industrial, agricultural and fishing industries and other connected
works should be geared up utilizing the cooperation of all the
nations so that the economic needs of UNO can be fulfilled by itself
in the future.
Finally, in
this way the world unity can be achieved to facilitate the formation of
One World Government for running the affairs of the world in peace,
security and stability in order to make developments in various fields,
achieve prosperity for the whole world and make progress of humankind
possible as was desired or dreamt by the noble individuals of the world.
