The United States Should Withdraw from the United Nations
Sixty years ago, the United Nations was made after other failed attempts of bringing countries together to try to bring peace to the world and avoid another world war. Their intentions were great; there were going to be rules and regulations that the countries would have to follow and everyone would work together. Now, sixty years later, the United Nations has shown to be a disappointment, not helping in areas where it should and leaving the countries to fight it out. I think that we do need to have the United Nations to have something that will step in, when acceptable, to bring peace. I do think the UN needs to be reformed.
After watching the moving Broken Promises, and seeing all of the flaws that the United Nations has, I figured out that it needs to be reformed, not taken away. I think that the charter, or rules, should be changed in certain events. For example, in Rwanda, where we knew a genocide was happening, the rules of the UN should have been cast aside and we should have stepped in. The United States, being the great country that it is, should have used its power to help control what was going on and bring in peace. There is no reason why we sat on the sidelines and watch one million people perish in a matter of months. It was uncalled for; we knew that there was killing happening there and we didn't do anything to stop it. Also, in the movie, it said that in the Rwanda episode that the United Nations played both sides as a referee. They needed gone against the aggressor and help the victim. All they did was make it easier for people to kill.
The United Nations. It doesn't need to be stopped, it needs to be reformed.
