#15 Improving the United Nations

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

It has to be realised that for the maintenance of World Peace, we have to have some sort of a global organisation. We have established the U.N. organisation but basically the U.N. cannot effectively fulfil this peace mission because it has no effective power of its own and is dependant on the wishes of its member states, who do not always act in unison. They all put forward their own individual ideas and their own demands to the U.N., which is always dominated by America. Americans are not the right people to dominate the world because they are very immature and very sex-oriented.

We have to have another higher house for the U.N. We can get very well known judges, like those of the World Court in The Hague. These people should be elected by the whole world and should not come from any one particular country. They should have the necessary detachment and wisdom, as well as a great understanding of the problems that affect the peace of the world. This new body of the most distinguished persons, on top of the U.N., can manage much more than the U.N., which is absolutely under the thumbs of the countries, which are governed sometimes by very odd governments.

There is then the problem of getting adequate financial resources for running this new body, as well as the U.N. Considering that governments are not willing to contribute large sums of money, it is extremely necessary to reduce the total number of U.N. employees and also to scale down their salaries. If the salaries are not as high as they are today, those who are purely money-oriented will not be attracted to the U.N. ... ...

If persons of high eminence, integrity, wisdom, character and intellect are elected to the proposed new high body, to direct and guide the entire United Nations system, the people of the world may have a new chance of seeing the world governed by righteousness and dharma and not by narrow selfishness, greed and immorality. In that case, World Peace and a good social, political and moral order may yet be established.
