[quote=LEONARDO,296471]Actually, we might have been too hard on UN. In many cases, UN is powerless. UN has more determination than real power. UN spending(budget) is highly dependent on its major contributors: US, Japan and European powers. UN's activities such as its its Peacekeeping Missions and Programmes needs money. In recent years, the late payment practices and US conditions on UN activities have incured financial difficulties for UN. UN funds come in two ways:mandatory contributions and voluntary contributions. The voluntary contributions, accounting for more half of the UN funds, is usually closely tied to national interests. Member states care for their own national interests. Imagine: if the activities and programmes don't favor their national interests, would they be willing to give voluntary contributions? UN actually was in a very embarrassing position in handling crisis. UN needs more real power. [/quote]
