United Nations Charter: What are the chances of it working?

WRITE a blog post in which you 1.) SUMMARIZE your annotations, rewriting them in your own words, 2.) DISCUSS what the goals of the charter are – what does the UN seek to prevent?, and 3.) EXPLAIN any problems you see in the plan proposed by the charter.

I found the U.N.’s solutions for the violence and problems in the world in the Charter of the United Nations very idealistic and unreal. I agree with all the problems that they address and how they exist in the world, but their solutions will just create more conflicts. They want no use of arms and to have peace within all countries around the world. The only problem with their solutions is that certain people in the world are bellicose. Therefore, the Charter, no matter what, cannot satisfy everybody in the world. It only takes one person or a small organization to initiate war between countries by murder, terrorism, or other uses of violence. The Charter’s solution for war and aggression is simply, peace. They don’t explain how they will reach the idealistic goal of “peace within all countries”. They want to develop friendly relations among all nations and achieve cooperation in solving worldwide problems. All of the Charter’s “solutions” will only lead to more chaos and violence. It is just a matter of time before the U.N. loses control of its people. Also, part of the plan says for other countries to look out for neighboring nations and for them to protect each other. The obvious problem with this so-called solution is simply “what if the countries don’t care about their neighboring countries?” The only way to force them to follow rules is violence. We have seen this in the French Revolution and the Great Terror. So since they have to use hostility to instill their rules, they are breaking their own guidelines of peace. Their plan is a spiral that may begin at a good and high point, but will have nowhere to go but down.
