Based on our class discussions, understand the thought process which existed at the end of World War II. Given the violations to national sovereignty presented by Japan to Manchuria, Italy to Abyssinia, and Germany to Poland, the United Nations attempted to establish a global context for collective security, over individual security, and a rules-based international system in which might makes right, not might makes right. Nation-states should promote and seek integration and communication as a means to provide incentives for peace and cooperation; nation-states should avoid policies promoting self-interest and isolation. Additionally, given the horrific discoveries of the holocaust throughout Nazi Occupied Europe, the United Nations also sought to define and articulate the principles laid out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
