International conventions have been negotiated for the protection of cultural property, multiculturalism and outstanding natural sites. More than 980 such sites have been classified as of special interest. [18]

Human rights

United Nations General Assembly
Since 1948, when the General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Since then, the United Nations has helped develop dozens of comprehensive agreements on political, civil, economic, social and cultural rights. By investigating individual complaints, UN human rights bodies have focused global attention on cases of torture, disappearances and arbitrary detention, and created international pressure on governments to improve their human rights records.
When the United Nations was established in 1945, 750 million people - almost a third of the world's population - lived in non-Self-governing territories attached to colonial powers. The United Nations has played a role in the independence of more than 80 countries, which have become sovereign states. [19]

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which includes 2,000 leading scientists in the field of climate change, issues a comprehensive scientific assessment every five or six years. In 2007, the Commission concluded conclusively that climate change is occurring and that human activity is the primary cause.

Major problem

broadcast
EDITOR
While performing many important functions such as maintaining world peace, the United Nations also has some problems. While coordinating the interests of all countries, the United Nations is also undergoing difficult reforms Permanent members of the Security Council The question of increased seats.

Americanization tendency

As the founder and host country of the United Nations headquarters, the United States has played an extremely important role in the development of the United Nations, and has been trying to smear more American colors in it. Korean War During this period, the United States manipulated the United Nations to pass a number of resolutions, cobbling together a 16-nation force. United Nations forces ", into the Korean battlefield. Not in 2003 United Nations Security Council Permit to Saddam and Bin Laden Initiation by implication Iraq War .

Economic problem

Economic problems were like shackles on the shoulders of the United Nations, making it difficult for it to act and take decisions, which provided an opportunity for some countries to take advantage of financial problems. Some major powers have also tried to blackmail the United Nations by paying their dues.

Development problem

The United Nations has done a great deal of meaningful work on issues related to human development. Many development-friendly agreements have also been signed. However, due to the large number of member states involved in these agreements, the interests of all parties are complicated, and it is very difficult to implement them. As a result, the implementation of many agreements has not reached the expected goal, and even become a "blank check".

Supervision problem

For such a largest international governmental organization in the world today, who should play a real oversight role in its operation, this has become an urgent question. Under the Charter, member States are obliged to monitor UN agencies and staff, but this is clearly not working very well. Because of the human and political interests involved, many countries are more comfortable with the appearance of calm than they are with embarrassing an international authority, which provides a more relaxed environment for possible corruption.

expenditure

broadcast
EDITOR
The funding of the United Nations consists of three components: regular budget funding, peacekeeping operations funding (collectively United Nations dues Voluntary contributions from Member States.

Regular budget appropriation

Changes in China's membership dues
To be apportioned to all Member States on a proportionate basis. According to Article 17 of the Charter of the United Nations, "the expenses of the Organization shall be borne by the Members according to the limits apportioned by the General Assembly". The scale of contributions is subject to full discussion and consultation among Member States and is considered and decided by the General Assembly. The scale of contributions is reviewed every three years, and each time the scale is adjusted to reflect the latest developments in the world economy. The basic principle underlying the establishment of the scale of assessments is the principle of "capacity to pay", that is, the apportionment of United Nations contributions according to the respective economic strength of Member States. In order to make the scale fairer and more consistent with the principle of capacity to pay, the current scale also has an upper and lower limit. In 2013, the United Nations used new regular budget assessment rates. America It remains the largest contributor to the UN, with its 22 per cent share of the budget unchanged. Japan It was in second place, but its contribution fell to 10.8% from 13.5% previously. China A sharp increase from 3.19% to 5.15% (a total of about $130 million), more than Italy and Canada It became the sixth largest contributor to the United Nations. Numbers 3 through 5 are Germany 7.141%, France 5.593% and Britain 5.179%.
In December 2015, United Nations General Assembly On the evening of the 23rd, the scale of assessments of countries for the 2016-2018 United Nations contributions and peacekeeping assessments was adopted. According to this, in the next three years, China will bear 7.921 percent of the UN membership dues and 10.2 percent of the peacekeeping assessment. This is the second time in recent years that China's share of UN dues and peacekeeping contributions has increased significantly. [20]

Financing of peacekeeping operations

The costs of United Nations peacekeeping operations are also largely apportioned by Member States, but at a different rate than the regular budget.
Peacekeeping costs are financed on the basis of regular budget apportionment. This approach divides Member States into four groups, Group A consisting of the five permanent members, Group B consisting of developed countries, Group C consisting of economically least developed countries and Group D consisting of specially designated economically least developed countries. As a rule, Group B countries pay their regular budget assessments, Group C countries pay 20 per cent of their regular budget assessments, Group D countries pay 10 per cent of their regular budget assessments, and the five permanent members bear the remainder in addition to their regular budget contributions.

Voluntary contributions from Member States

Many United Nations agencies rely on voluntary contributions from the Governments of Member States to carry out their activities, the most important of which are United Nations Development Programme Unep, UNFPA, UNICEF, UNHCR, Industrial Development Organization, World Food Programme Let's wait. In addition to government contributions, agencies such as UNDP and UNEP receive a small portion of the regular United Nations budget for their administrative and management expenses. Every November, the United Nations Pledging Conference takes place as scheduled New York United Nations Headquarters Hold.
