What The United Nations Should Be
If there is one belief that is almost universally accepted it is that peace on Earth is desirable. While some military hawks may call for increased defense spending and militarization it is my belief that they do so in the desire for peace not war. While I may not agree with their methods I certainly applaud their goals. This should also be the primary function of the united nation; to promote peace. Where peace exists secondary concerns like health care, education and economic development can prosper. Where war exists the only things that flourish are death and chaos.
Any nation in the world should be guaranteed freedom from military intervention by hostile nations and for this to be true the United Nations must have the strongest military presence on the planet. There is no other way to guarantee safety to it's members. These conditions call for a radical reorganization of the way nations can join the U.N. and their function within. Under my plan the following changes would occur :
Any nation who joined would first their entire military forces to the United Nations.
Any nation wishing to join must hold a nation wide referendum on the subject, with a 2/3rds majority voting to join.
Should a nation petition the U.N. for membership (5% of the population petitioning) then referendums will be held even at the expense of military action.
On joining the installation of a genuine democratic republic will be overseen. A nation must be truly democratic to join.
Basic human rights standards will be ensured for all member nations; if the human rights violations exceed a certain level the leadership is recalled and an immediate re-election is held.
This would ensure that any people who truly wish to be free could be safe from the violence and aggression of petty dictators and foreign governments could. While there are dangers inherent in any congregation of power, with proper checks and balances and by limiting the influence of the U.N. in a countries individual affairs this is a viable plan for world peace.
