When it comes to Racial Criminal Justice, there appears to be a biased relationship between the United States (the U.S.) and the United Nations (UN). Since the inception of UN in 1945, the U.S., for the most part, has been supportive of UN helping it develop from the Atlantic Charter to its official beginnings in 1945. The U.S. was the first significant governmental organization to support the UN Inopportunely, this biased relationship appears to have taken an interesting turn of events. It is well known by the international community that, in the U.S., killings of African-Americans as well as other disadvantaged people and minorities has increased. Yet the U.S. and several other prominent western governments have refused to agree with the UN's apartheid policy. When the killing of a black teenager by a white police officer was in the news, UN appeared to take the opportunity to champion their agenda. The current Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of South Korea and the racism watchdog of UN, Noureddine Amir, urged the U.S. to curb the excessive use of force on minorities by police. The UN took further action by questioning a senior delegation from the U.S. concerning the continued racial discrimination against blacks and other minorities in America. The history of the association between UN and the U.S. is complex and long. The UN has been able to come this far because the U.S. gave the institution the resources and power to become functional. Regardless of the bias that comes out between the two, the U.S. continues to demonstrate its solidarity with UN. The U.S. claims that its main goal is to enhance cooperation with UN and strengthen it. Meanwhile, UN is urging the U.S. to accept their apartheid policy.
Abstract
When it comes to Racial Criminal Justice, there appears to be a biased relationship between the United States (the U.S.) and the United Nations (UN). Since the inception of UN in 1945, the U.S., for the most part, has been supportive of UN helping it develop from the Atlantic Charter to its official beginnings in 1945. The U.S. was the first significant governmental organization to support the UN Inopportunely, this biased relationship appears to have taken an interesting turn of events. It is well known by the international community that, in the U.S., killings of African-Americans as well as other disadvantaged people and minorities has increased. Yet the U.S. and several other prominent western governments have refused to agree with the UN's apartheid policy. When the killing of a black teenager by a white police officer was in the news, UN appeared to take the opportunity to champion their agenda. The current Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of South Korea and the racism watchdog of UN, Noureddine Amir, urged the U.S. to curb the excessive use of force on minorities by police. The UN took further action by questioning a senior delegation from the U.S. concerning the continued racial discrimination against blacks and other minorities in America. The history of the association between UN and the U.S. is complex and long. The UN has been able to come this far because the U.S. gave the institution the resources and power to become functional. Regardless of the bias that comes out between the two, the U.S. continues to demonstrate its solidarity with UN. The U.S. claims that its main goal is to enhance cooperation with UN and strengthen it. Meanwhile, UN is urging the U.S. to accept their apartheid policy.
