Is UN a failure?

        UNITED NATIONS

The United Nations Organization also known as UN is an international organization initiated on 24th of October in 1945, comprising of 51 countries during it's inception and 193 countries today. Those 51 countries claimed to bring peace and friendly relations among all the nations, because the world was at war and millions of lives were being lost. However, the UN did actually oil the wheels but at some point, it threw in the towel and stepped back. Here we will mention some of the stories of UN that include it in the good books as well as the bad books of people around the world. 

      Israeli-Palestinian Conflict     

Palestinians have been fighting the Jewish state, Israel, ever sine it's independence. Approximately 15000 Palestinians were killed and 750000 were forced to take refuge. Almost 90% of old Palestine is now in the hands of Israel. However, the United Nations" 138 out of 198 countries (which is 71.5% of total) had recognized the state of Palestine on 31st of July 2019, but it was all done after the deaths of approximately 13969 lives out of which 87% were all Palestinians; that means even though the UN supported or helped Palestine but it couldn't manage to bring peace.

            Kashmir Issue     

For the rest of the world, impossible becomes possible when pigs fly but in India and Pakistan, it's when Kashmir issue gets solved! THis is because every solution ends in confrontation. Over the course of 75 years, these two countries have fought countless major and minor wars. The UN tried to solve this and as a result more than 40,000 kashmiris have lost their lives to this day.

            Afghanistan  

Let's change gears from the UN's negative points to the positive ones. Despite all of the shabby stuff; in case of Afghanistan, I would like to give UN an A for effort. This country has been facing violence since it's inception in 1747! that is a dog's age!
The current issues of Afghanistan are uncountable, some of them are: Insecurity, Corruption, Mismanagement, Drought, Covid-19, the country being a LDC ( least-developed country) and immeasurably more! even worse the country is now in the hands of the Taliban. However, the UN has been present in Afghanistan since 1947 and it has been helping it financially since a long run. Recently the UN launched more than $5 billion funding appeal for Afghanistan. The UN has done a lot to soften Afghanistan when it's in deep and hot water.

              Conclusion

The UN always goes from "I will do it" to "I'll try to do it" but ends in just saying "I can't do it" and throws in the towel!

Pre-partition: explained

Pakistan is today, an independent and happy* country, where no one is prohibited to practice their religion and everyone here is genial, gracious and sociable and almost everyone here knows what their nation's history is; but do you know how brutal, cruel as well as captivating and compelling its history is? In this article, we will cover a very detailed history of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, or basically "The Subcontinent". Although the subcontinent's history dates back to thousands of years ago, I will just start from a quarter of its history and for instance, 1498; this year is when for the first time the Europeans came here, in the subcontinent for trading purposes. Firstly, in 1498, there came a Portuguese explorer named "Vasco da Gama", who was the first Portuguese as well as the first European to enter this land. He reached here successfully with the help of "Ibn Majid", an Arab sailor. Ibn Majid helped Vasco da Gama through his journey fr...

The Dark History Of Mount Rushmore

Mount Rushmore, which is in today's world, a quite famous monument; has an untold dark history. It is a mountain in the black hills region of South Dakota carved into the faces of the four presidents of America: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. Mount Rushmore got its name from a New York attorney, Charles Rushmore when he visited the mount but before it was named "Mount Rushmore" the Lakota people called it "The Six Grandfather's mountain". The Lakota are Native American people who lived there for years, that is why it was owned by them but their access to this Land came to a threat when "White Americans" expanded their territory by physical violation which led to a war between them and between 1866 and 1868, the Lakota allies successfully defeated the U.S military and got their Land back. In 1963, Treaty at fort Laramie mentioned that the Black Hills and other areas belonged to the Sioux nation* but in ...
