WORLD WITHOUT INTERNATIONAL ORGANISATIONS

“The world has already seen that only chaos and instability will result when radicalism and
populism go unchecked.”

 US planning to chop down the funds to World Health Organization and also not happy
with World Trade organization.

About:

 For 70-odd years, the world has experienced a period of relative peace and stability
achieved through global cooperation and the establishment of empowered international
organizations such as the United Nations.
 The purpose of international organization is to bring cooperation and peace among
the nations and to help the nations build relations between the nations in all types
of international organizations. International organizations aim to establish peace and
harmony between the nations. Any disputes between the nations can be settled with
peaceful discussions under the guidance of the international organizations.
 As far back as the 14th and 15th-century Spanish and Portuguese adventurism that gave
birth to globalization, it became increasingly apparent that nations or empires were better
off seeking compromise through quiet diplomacy at conference tables than the violent,
unrestrained use of gunpowder politics.
 In the early 20th century, along came US President Woodrow Wilson with his famous
“14 Points” aimed squarely at the foundations on which European powers had built their
supremacy.
 In this article, the importance of international organization has been discussed along
with the times before and after the establishment of the international
organization.

Realists and the fallacy of institutions

 Realists, who consider the world as an anarchic location, do not necessarily dislike
international governance. Yet, they regard its effect as restricted, as worldwide
institutions are, according to them, a dependent mirrored image of the collaborating
states' power and for this reason unable to adjust a nation's conduct.
  The independent variable that explains war and peace aren't establishments, but stability
of energy. The maximum powerful states in a gadget create and form worldwide
institutions that are then on the whole used to "act out" these strength relationships.
 States may also build alliances and decide to cooperate; however they will change their
approach when it appears handy. Today's buddy, in any case, may be the next day's
enemy.
 Finally, in a realist global, states are passionate about relative-gains logic, and that they
handiest cooperate if they advantage more than the other side, which makes lengthy-term
cooperation tough. Institutions, in short, do now not make the arena a greater nonviolent
place.

Chronology

 After the 2nd World War, United Nations Organization (UN) came into existence. The
UN came into existence in the year 1945.
 It was formed by 51 countries with an aim to commitment towards maintenance of
international peace and security.
 The UN focused in the means to provide the settlement of dispute between the nations in
an amicable manner and to ensure building of friendly relations among the nations. The
importance of all the nations to stand together for fighting problems of international
concern was also realized.
 The Charter of the UN gave a wide range of powers to the Organization. The UN also
acts as a forum for all the member countries to put forward their views on various
international and national matters.
 The UN consists of various bodies including the UN General Assembly, the
Security Council, the Economic and Social Council and other bodies and committees.
The United Nation Organization primarily acts as a peacekeeper and helps in
resolution of conflicts between the nations.
 However, there are wide areas which are dealt by the United Nations and thus it is a
platform for
 solving international issues in a peaceful and amicable manner. Currently, the United
Nations consists of 193 member countries, all the members have equal representation in
the United Nations General Assembly.

The UN Charter

 The UN Charter was signed on the 26th June, 1946, in San Francisco, after the
conclusion of the United Nation Conference. The charter came into force on 24th
October, 1956.

The UN Charter has laid down the following purpose of the United Nation:
1) Maintenance of peace globally;
2) Helping establish friendly relations among the nations;
3) To help eradicate global issues such as poverty, illiteracy, environmental issues, freedom
of individuals, fighting against diseases etc;
4) Building harmony among the nations to achieve the goals of the Organization.

Principal organs of the United Nations

The United Nations has 6 principle organs:

1. The United Nations General Assembly
2. The Security Council
3. The Economic and Social Council
4. The trusteeship Council (ceased operations in 1994)
5. The Secretariat
6. The International Court of Justice

The importance of International Organization

1. Helps in international co-operation : It is very important to have a co-operation

betweenall the nations of the world, no country can work without the co-operation of other
nations. In today’s time no economy can survive independently, nations are connected to each
other through trade and economic relations. Therefore international organizations helps the
nations build such relations with much ease.
2. Helps establish international peace : War does more harm than good, wars cause a
great loss of men and assets and seriously affect the countries, therefore
international organization helps in ensuring that the nations do not enter into war with each other
and that no matter how serious the issues are between the countries, those issues are solved in an
amicable manner through the means of discussions and deliberations.
3. Helps solving problems of international concern : International organizations help in
solving issues which are of international concern, these issues include socio economic issues
including diseases, poverty, women rights, child rights, human rights, human trafficking etc.
4. International Support: The International Organizations have membership from different
countries, therefore a member of such organization is supported by such other members. This is
useful for smaller countries which are independently not strong, therefore these countries are
supported by the big countries in case of conflicts and problems faced by such small countries. It
also provides international support in times of crises in any country thus creating a sense of
support and strength given by other countries.
5. International Court : The countries build relations with each other by
signing of different treaties. Treaties are the terms and conditions and the circumstances under
which such relations are being built between the countries. The treaties may be formed for
different purposes including the building of trade relations, health treaty, armed forces treaty,
peace treaty etc. In case there is a breach of the treaty from any of the party of the treaty, any
aggrieved party to such treaty may take that matter before the ICJ and the ICJ decides upon such
issue and helps in resolving the dispute between the countries.

A world without international organizations

 The importance of international law was very well understood by the countries post the
1st World War and thus the League of Nations was formed.
 The League of Nations however could not properly solve its purpose. However, after the
establishment of the United Nations, the importance of international law is now
understood by the world.
 Should the UN cease to be relevant, the resulting decline in global cooperation would
eventually lead to another world war, but this time there would not be much of a world
left given the stockpiles of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons.
 Without a binding force a situation of confusion may arise which is very well dealt with
by the international law.
 All the international issues are amicably solved by the international organizations
therefore a world without international law and international organizations cannot be
thought of in today’s time.
 But at the same time International organization like WHO failed to deliver its duty ,as per
many country .

CONCLUSION
 International law has evolved over time and now it has become a very important part of
international relations, the countries have now understood the importance of international
law and therefore have started to adhere to the international law.
 The international law does not have a binding nature and the countries can only surrender
themselves to the international law by giving due importance to the international law.
 This has helped in building a much peaceful world and the good relations are built among
the nation.
 In today’s time, one cannot think about a world without the international law as in that
situation no country would ever be in position to co-operate with its fellow countries.
 In fact, it is paramount that the organization encourages member nations to educate
younger generations, through appropriate academic curriculums and other activities, on
the virtues of closer cooperation beyond just economics and national security. Other
international institutions and supranational bodies should do the same..
