The International Community should be advised that the leadership of the United Nations is currently in dispute. Due to the bad leadership of the UN – and its unwillingness to evolve and improve itself – the UN is currently like a lost puppy, which needs guidance by the NGO Community to restore its integrity, virtue and respect in the International Community. As things stand, the UN is failing to uphold its moral obligation of protecting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in countries such as Afghanistan, Myanmar, Ethiopia, Belarus, Sudan and Syria. Although the Taliban promised an amnesty for government and NGO workers, the targeted killing of government employees, especially women who worked for the Afghan security forces, is on the rise. Also, a spate of violent attacks on Afghan journalists by the Taliban is prompting growing alarm over the freedom of the country’s media; press freedom having in effect ended in the country. Furthermore access to food aid and other life-saving services in Afghanistan is close to running out, the UN has warned, as the country is being pushed by the Taliban into an abyss of a humanitarian catastrophe. Now that the Taliban has officially formed a government, the deployment of UN Peacekeeping troops in Afghanistan would be a step in the right direction. However, the UN Security Council (UNSC) it too divided and weak to take this course of action; since it is defined and controlled by the five permanent members of the UNSC – namely China, France, Russia, the US and UK – each nation having its own political agenda, putting political issues before humanitarian issues, with the result that the UN Security Council is failing badly to manifest peace and prosperity in the world. This must change. Officials in charge of the UNSC must be non-governmental officials, selected by an independent international body. In short, politicians – such as President Putin, President Xi Jinping, President Biden and PM Johnson – should not be permitted to hold any sway over the UNSC; so that primitive nationalistic agendas no longer interfere with international peacebuilding efforts. Also, in future the International Criminal Court (ICC) ought to have the power to bring violent extremists and terrorists to justice and detain them in secure prisons – not only to defeat violent extremism in the world, but also to prevent civilian casualties of military operations – so that justice and rule of law can finally be manifested in the world.
