First, visit the UN's website: https://www.un.org/english/
Now, discuss some or all of the following:
What issues or themes immediately captured your attention while reviewing the UN's website?
Do you believe that the United Nations is still a "relevant" and influential international organization in our world today? Why, or why not? Presented another way, is the UN's role in our world increasing, or is it diminished?
What aspects of U.N. governance do you think should be changed or revised, and why?
So far, has the U.N. Security Council responded appropriately to Iran and/or North Korea's nuclear programs?
Should the U.S. always have the support of the U.N. Security Council before taking military action against another nation? Provide a rationale for your answer.
Should the United Nations take an increased role in enforcing and protecting Human Rights throughout the world (as was the case in Libya)? Or, would such action constitute a violation of a nation's sovereignty?
