This really answered the question "what is the UN?" more than "how does the UN work?"

Just wondering how an organization,so terribly dominated by 5 countries(3 of which have been almost always aligned with each other since the formation of United Nations)can work towards bigger picture of peace and harmony?!dont you think that these countries can very easily push their own political agenda forward?

This is great. short, to the point, and perfect to show high schoolers to get the idea across in a quick way to keep their attention.

Not a bad short intro -- but it leaves out some very big, important aspects, like the way countries work together in the UN to develop international law (the "law of nations") by making treaties; like the way countries work together in the UN to understand emerging threats like asteroid hits or climate change; and like the use of peacekeeping forces (army and police, and sometimes also air and naval forces) to shut down armed conflicts, or protect civilians in failed states or civil wars.

Peace is what matters most

BULLSHIT.... FREEDOM is what MATTERS MOST. There's peace enough in the Grave...life is a fight from start to finish.

Thank you, I now have a perspective on how far you deviate from your intended purpose and values.

thanks for your video!

Met this guy yesterday! pretty cool guy! :)

Thank u for helping me on social studies

Very entertaining!

Thanks for the video. Really helped me understand :)

I love the video. It is a good way to explain the UN.

Just wondering what the music in the background is called...

I think that its a mistake to give the 5 permanent members veto power, or better yet i think its a bad idea having permanent members altogether. As far as i understand it. If a dispute arises involving one of the permanent members, if they violated international laws that they themselves agreed to uphold and respect,, they can only be punished if they allow themselves to be punished and i am perplexed at this very obvious flaw that as far as im aware of has not been raised or discussed in th UN

Up with Peace! Down with Evil!

Good info.

what is the program to make this video

Also, is it possible to add more permanent members to the security council? In my mind, two more major world powers have emerged: India and Brazil. And an African country should also get some representation, as well as a south american one(Brazil).

nice music

Can the UN get rid of the right to veto ?

FYI, that's not Britain, that's the United Kingdom. Don't upset the Northern Irish ;)

Problem is that the 10 largest nations pay most of the money but determine only 7% of the votes.

Why some country's like Japan and Spain not be in the un

Forgot to mention UN really would want to erradicate genocides and crimes (and all violations to human rights) but sometimes (or maybe many times) sovereignity of states can be more important.

YES SURE and Santa its real..

play rugby and who Eva wins is king and we nz will keep the peace

@Imrahilp Good question. International diplomacy is a difficult thing. All countries are going to push their own agenda - that is the nature of state interests. The five permanent members were brought in and given a veto power because not having them in the UN would have rendered it ineffective. There is an undercurrent of discussions about reforming the UN - including more members in the permanent security council to reflect modern power realities.

No, the UN was established because of WW2

.....

It doesn't.

Unfortunately, the UN can't do everything good that is possible.

BRICS Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa that's where the smart money is.

do the UN use flower guns in the video apeard

Its not a parliament if it is full of unelected bureaucrats

I love what the United Nations stand for, and I hope they will achieve their goal for peace. though I think the security counsel needs work. work like: no permanent members and members who are involved in peacekeeping. I would say Russia should be kicked off the counsel for taking Crimea, but there haven't been any acts of war committed by the Russians YET. In fact Crimea voted(98% yes) to be annexed by Russia.

Country having one of the largest army in the world(India) is not part of UNSC Largest Importer of Arms India not part of UNSC

I just realized that Africa is almost non existent :/

There are many other problems to solve in the UN than Tibet, thats like asking UN to ignore the problems of isis atm. I'm sure Tibet is a much stable area than some of the areas that need attention.

heh,we cannot help everybody but we can try.But you have to understand,if you want something done correctly and done right, do it yourself.So go to Tibet yourself and try to free it.

Who decides if a resolution is put before the security council or the general assembly? Also, if the 5 permanent members an veto any resolution, what is the point of the non-permanent members if they have very little power? It seems to be that its mostly symbolic.
