No reasons to celebrate
(Thanks to Hervé and Janinka for the links)
A month to "celebrate" some of the (worst) failures of the 20th century.
60th Anniversary of the San Francisco Conference
The United Nations did not come into existence at the signing of the Charter. In many countries the Charter had to be approved by their congresses or parliaments. It had therefore been provided that the Charter would come into force when the Governments of China, France, Great Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States and a majority of the other signatory states had ratified it and deposited notification to this effect with the State Department of the United States.On October 24, 1945, this condition was fulfilled and the United Nations came into existence. Four years of planning and the hope of many years had materialized in an international organization designed to end war and promote peace, justice and better living for all mankind.
On the 60th anniversary of the North Korean Communist Party, Kim Jong Il wallows in a cult of personality. But not everybody is celebrating. . . .
French health care system celebrate its 60th anniversary
ROUGH DRAFT (RANT)
No reason to celebrate at all.
During the last 60 years the United Nations has wildly strayed from its original intentions and path. It has gone from a basic mechanism to deal with problems of war and international disputes and into a quasi world governing body intent on increasing its international power through masked treaties such as the recent UNESCO 32 C/Resolution 34, 169 Decision 3.7 and 171 EX/Decision 19 (1). Fortunately the United States did not sign on to this Convention -- one reason being that although it claims to be a "suggestive" proposal the text within this draft also contains clause(s) that these conventions can be tied in (thus allowing disputes) with other existing treaties. Thus the dangers of signing onto most anything that the UN can muster.
Overall, the UN is intent on creating a world government body which is far beyond its original goals. The EU is a good example of what this "new world order" would be like if applied with the United Nation's socialist goals. There is talk that the UN through UNESCO (or France) have plans to transfer or oversee the internet through another UN convention which would endanger our freedoms and create international tariffs and a massive web of international treaties. This must not be allowed to happen. There are other matters and rights that nations "sign off" on when signing UN treaties many to list here but an example would be a potential mineral recovery site in Wyoming coming under the control of the UN under the guise of a "Bio-Diversify and Cultural Treaty" with the UN if that site were to be located under such a treaty.
While I can't list the many "new world order" UN treaties and conventions that they have in place or are in the planning stage, UNESCO is a good example of what is wrong with the UN. UNESCO (being largely controlled by elitist Parisian socialists) are continually formulating new treaties. These treaties are really a foundation of what they intend to become International Law; France being so desperate to embark again like Napoleon or the Vichy only this time through UNESCO.
The last thing America needs is another UN sponsored cultural treaty with a increasingly meaningless third world nation like France or others within the UN.
