Can the United Nations be established for 75 years?

Can the United Nations be founded 75 years? Can international cooperation be regained?

The UN is 75 years old. With the delay in countermeasures against global warming and the arms race among major powers becoming remarkable, it has been a year of difficulties to regain international cooperation, which was the starting point of the creation of the United Nations.

In June 1945, the United Nations signed a UN Charter in June 1945 with representatives of 50 nations, including the victorious nations, in San Francisco on the west coast of the United States, aiming not to repeat the devastation of World War II. It was founded.

In the 75 years since its inception, Secretary-General Guterres has been running the United Nations with 193 member states, but faces many challenges.

The biggest challenge is global warming countermeasures. At COP25, a meeting held last month in Spain to discuss countermeasures, the United Nations aimed at further raising greenhouse gas reduction targets for countries, but agreement was reached. did not.

Last month, Secretary-General Guterres told NHK in a solo interview, "Climate change is not a future problem, it is a crisis now. We need to have enough courage to combat global warming." He repeatedly expressed his desire to exercise political will.

However, the United States has decided to break away from the Paris Agreement, making it increasingly difficult to unite against global warming.

Also, the Security Council has not been able to find an effective solution in international conflicts due to differences between the United States, Russia and China.

In addition, the arms race among the three countries is also intensifying, and it will be a year of difficulties whether we can regain international cooperation, which was the origin of the creation of the United Nations.
