The United Nations is facing criticism because it is on the occasion of its 80th anniversary and efforts to persuade a divided and war -torn world, which are more important than ever, despite the ruins and its power.

The 193 member of the United Nations will sign the UN Charter, the founder of the organization in San Francisco on Thursday, June 26, 1945. On October 24, the UN was formally established after the UN endorsement.

The anniversary comes when the World Organization faces a multi -faceted crisis that has raised questions about its future.

“Since the end of the Cold War, we have seen the organization struggling in affairs from Rwanda to Iraq to Iraq,” Richard Guan, an international crisis group analyst, told AFP.

He added, “When every major crisis comes, observers announced that the United Nations is over. And it is still alive.”

“It is a particularly bad moment,” said, “Gwen confessed, and pointing to several countries, which is” deep frustration “because of the United Nations Security Council’s failure to act on major conflicts such as Ukraine and Gaza.

It is largely due to the veto power of the five permanent members of the Council, namely the United Kingdom, China, France, Russia and the United States, which has competitive interests.

“There is a reputation crisis in the UN system as a whole, and it is unclear whether members of the organization have resources or political energy to save it,” Govin told AFP.

For the French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs Research Fellow Romold Score, the problem of reputation can lead to the virtual disappearance of only one organization that is already a political “dwarf” globally.

“I am not sure that the United Nations will end its 100th anniversary, even its existence.” “I see a slowly disappearing, and the United Nations is becoming a bit ghost,” as “these old organizations whose names we have forgotten.”

But experts say that although the United Nations is in dire need of strict reforms, all its problems do not come from, and it has become a simple sacrifice for its divided membership.

‘Perhaps okay’

Washington -based Atlantic Council think tank Gesu Naya says he fears that “the point of power is right … that is what is catching, and it brings us away from these ideas” that led to the end of World War II.

A human rights lawyer, Naya, says he hopes enough people will be committed to a set of ideas and values ​​”who will keep the United Nations alive”, but still worry about permanent questioning of these values, especially from the US ally Israel.

The NIA told AFP, “The United Nations is either about being anti -sectatic, or the loss of financing to the United Nations, or with the help of UN dictators, is in fact a permanent blow, in fact.”

Secretary -General Antonio Guterres recently said that the largest number of conflicts since 1945, in the destructive world, and destroying the major humanitarian crisis, “The United Nations has never needed much,” Secretary General Antonio Guterres recently said.

“Our values ​​have never been more relevant. And the requirements are never more than that.”

Nevertheless, funding has increased slightly as the United States under the United States under Donald Trump, especially President Donald Trump.

In view of financial barriers, Guterres launched the UN80 Initiative to smooth operations. These changes may include cutting thousands of positions.

For Gwen, “the United Nations is a very large organization, and obviously it is suffering from a variety of bureaucratic issues, just as almost all major organizations do. (…) So surely it deserves to be scrutinized and criticized.”

But, he added: “I think we have become a bit accustomed to having this system in our service, and spend too much time to spend too much time about its shortcomings and recognize its achievements.”

The United Nations remains a place where rivals and enemies of the Mehra are still sitting at the same table for aerial complaints, and where the smallest member state can hear its voice.

From the World Food Program to the United Nations also works important on the ground, which brings more than 100 million people in 120 countries last year, which to thousands of peacekeepers protecting civilians in conflict areas.

“The United Nations was an excellent device,” Skira said.
