Vulnerable UN ?


I personally sometime think that who has real power when it come to global concern situation between UN and its permanent security member states. Currently, the western countries are unhappy with the situation in Syria and last week UN security council decided to take action against Syria to protect its innocent citizen. However that decision was barred by Russia and China by its veto power. So what does UN do with its decision when communist minded permanent states disagree with it? Nothing to do but showing their displeasure. This week, Russia and China foreign ministry issued response toward those displeasure with their veto using. Anyway it's sign of vulnerable on UN's power. Who else can deny this?

Next, Iran's nuclear related case. UN constantly showed its objection with regard to Iran's secret attention to become another nuclear power. It doesn't matter what is the reason to hinder Iran's nuclear program me. US, as usual, is producing loudest voice and clearest concern by moving its powerful navy nearby gulf. Regardless of international community's concern, again Russia and China are supporting Iran with the sake of its lucrative oil production. China is energy hungry nation and import visible amount of oil from Iran and don't want to spoil their relationship. Thus, China will not delay to support Iran if they are in need to protect their own business interests. On the other hand, China seems trying to persuade anti-US nations worldwide to enhance its power as far as possible from its shores.

Yesterday, Israel announced to commence its attack to Iran on the ground of their nation's security. No nation nor organisation can stop them doing that as it is considered highly dangerous. It's not just a war between two nation. It's a war of religious as well. If Israel attacks Iran, other Muslim world countries will enforce to Iran to counter Israel. For instance, Pakistan announce that they'll not hesitate to support Iran if Israel attack. Thus, world is concerning that nuclear weapon possession nation like Pakistan will enter the war and it could go beyond control.

On the economic world, EU is trying to survive from its current crisis. If Israel and Iran enter to war, there will definitely affect oil production in middle east particularly in Iran who is one of most oil exporters in the world. It'll prompt the oil supply shortage in market and will inevitably make oil price up. Subsequently, the EU will find themselves falling into the recession, even its strongest industrialization nation, Germany will not able to avoid it. What's good for war? Almost nothing. Who can stop war then? Apparent UN. Does UN has ability to stop those potential wars? Doubtful. Then who else will control those dangerous games? Probably US and its alley NATO. Hopefully some organization able to stop those unwanted wars to save our world regardless of where and reason.

May the world able to stay peacefully by the power of UN authority.
