Many failed products are examples of unsought products?

Can you give as many examples as you can as to how the United Nations has NOT failed?

  • Okay... so online we see a lot of ways it HAS failed. But what are some of it's achievements? I sort of just want to see an easy-to-understand list of their successes and ...show more

  • Answer:

    Well there is The eradication of small pox The creation of a global international mail system The establishment of international maritime law The creation of universally accepted standards for human rights The establishment of a nuclear non-proliferation treaty (don't say Iran makes this a failure - the only legal basis we have to even look at Iran's nuclear progress is this treaty) The caring for 20 million refugees and displaced persons at any point in time.

The question is moot. What matters is that the UN as an institution serves the purpose of those who wish to make life miserable for all of us.

Here goes..... ........ ........ ......... *crickets churp* ............. ............ *tumble weeds blow by* ......... ........ Oh, I have it! Gave the Soviet premier a place to slam his shoe on his desk and threaten to 'bury' us.... Sorry, but the UN generally is a complete failure.... the UN Security Council does maintain some stability in the world, and the UN has arranged a few good treaties and the end to a few bad wars, but all in all they just aren't good at what they do... which isn't a lot anyway...

Yes they have not failed at doing nothing when they are needed most like in darfur They has accomplished wasting money They have accomplished having the most unpaid parking tickets in the world. They accomplished sending people to a country that's people were already devistated and increasing the devistation by sending people who raped the women while they did nothing after learning of it. Cant really think of anything recent that they have done to help anything. They right resolution after resolution warning of action if countries who do bad things dont change their ways, yet the only action taken is another resolution. The UN had a purpose when it was formed but has outlived its usefullness and needs to go away

Uh... Disarming the populaces of many countries (it want's no private ownership of guns period) and the predicatble massacres afterward? I could say my opinion but I don't know if that's covered under the first ammendment. If we still have it. Oh, wait this isn't a college forum... Some people might get that.
