Match the questions
and articles with their answers. 1) What role do the
international organizations play today? 2) What are the results of the
activity of the international organizations? 3) Why did people create
international organizations? A. The creation of international organizations on a
wide scale in the 20th-century is the result of the progress in the
technology of communication, transportation, warfare, and the spread of
industrialization. These developments gave rise to a sense of interdependence
among the peoples of the world, and made people recognize the importance of
international co-operation to avoid the dangers, solve the problems, and use
the opportunities which confront the society of nations on a world-wide
scale. Some organizations are concerned only with single and relatively
narrow problems, while others, such as the United Nations and the UNESCO,
deal with a great variety of matters. Moreover, international organizations
function as either intergovernmental or nongovernmental agencies. B. The influence of the international organizations is great.
They deal with political, social, and economic problems. They are concerned
with the environmental problems as well. For example, such international
organization as the United Nations is aimed at modifications of the national
and international laws for the good of the people. The chief modification
introduced by the United Nations Charter is the limitation of the rights of
subjects of international law under international customary law to threaten
or resort to armed reprisals and war. C. The results of the activity of the
international organizations are significant The UN General Assembly passed a
number of resolutions and declarations. They are the Nuremberg Principles
that dealt with crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against
humanity; genocide; the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the right of
peoples and nations to self-determination; permanent sovereignty over natural
resources; denuclearization; and non-intervention. The most important of them
is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This general agreement that all
human beings are entitled to some basic rights marked the birth of the
international and universal recognition of human rights. |
