In today's world, cooperation among nations is increasingly close, yet behind this cooperation, there are also frictions. At such times, the role of the United Nations becomes particularly important.
However, despite the original intention of the United Nations to uphold global peace and justice, it has been controversial in recent years, with many countries expressing their desire to withdraw.
Why has this situation arisen? Are there deeper reasons behind it?
The establishment of the United Nations was aimed at upholding global peace and justice, so principles of fairness and justice should be upheld throughout to address and coordinate international relations.
However, over time, more and more countries have questioned the fairness of the UN system.
Some countries argue that the veto power held by the five permanent members of the Security Council allows them to unilaterally influence the fate of other countries, leading to a gradual loss of trust in the United Nations.
It's not just small countries that have objections to the United Nations; even major powers like Russia are no exception.
However, due to the rapid changes in the world situation, conflicts between Russia and other Western countries in the EU have escalated, and Russia has repeatedly sought help from the United Nations, only to be completely ignored, leading to a loss of trust in the United Nations by Russia.
Although more and more countries are expressing dissatisfaction with the United Nations and even choosing to withdraw, it must be acknowledged that the original purpose of the United Nations was to uphold world peace and development.
The establishment of the United Nations went through long preparations and planning, involving the hard work of countless people.
The outbreak of World War II brought massive destruction and suffering to the world, inspiring strong desires among people of all countries to resist aggression and strive for peace.
In 1941, Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill jointly proposed the idea of establishing a global system of enduring security.
In 1943, delegations from the United States, Britain, the Soviet Union, and China held diplomatic talks in Moscow, attempting to establish a universally applicable international organization to maintain world security.
Subsequently, at the Tehran Conference, the name of the organization was officially determined as the "United Nations."
The drafting of the United Nations Charter went through discussions and voting by all parties and officially came into effect on October 24, 1945, making the United Nations an international organization for maintaining world peace and security.
However, despite the positive intentions of the United Nations, its influence has declined in recent years.
This is mainly due to its laxity in fairness, disappointing some countries.
During Kofi Annan's tenure as UN Secretary-General, he was respected and beloved by people worldwide for his fairness and strength.
However, today's United Nations has almost become an institution centered on Western countries.
When faced with aggression conflicts initiated by Western countries, the United Nations even accuses the invaded countries without seeking the truth.
This approach has hurt the feelings of many countries.
Among Western countries, the United States has the greatest influence.
Therefore, the United Nations has become a stage for competition among world countries.
As one of the world powers, China's attitude towards the trust crisis in the United Nations is of great concern.
China has stated that the United Nations still plays a crucial role in maintaining world peace and security, promoting international cooperation and development, and upholding human rights and dignity.
The collapse of the United Nations would cause incalculable losses and harm to the world, which is a risk and challenge that no country can afford.
China firmly defends the dignity and credibility of the United Nations, calling on all countries to continue to support the unity and cohesion of the United Nations as always, provide strong support for the improvement of the United Nations, and promote world peace and progress.
The status of the United Nations was not achieved overnight; its development process was full of hardships and challenges.
Despite facing many difficulties, only through joint cooperation and concerted efforts can we overcome obstacles and promote world peace and prosperity.
