UN - International Organizations

United Nations:


  1. Is the United Nations still relevant in maintaining 

global peace and security?


Debate whether the UN has adapted effectively to modern 

conflicts and global challenges, or if it has become an outdated 

institution.


  1. Should the United Nations intervene in the internal affairs 

of sovereign states to prevent human rights abuses?


Discuss the balance between state sovereignty and the UN's 

responsibility to protect (R2P) doctrine.


  1. Should the United Nations be given the authority to enforce 

binding international laws?


Argue whether the UN should have more legal power over states 

to ensure compliance with international norms.


International Organizations:


  1. Are international organizations biased in favor of wealthy, 

powerful nations?


Debate whether organizations like the World Bank, IMF, or even 

the UN favor the interests of developed countries over those of the 

developing world.


  1. Do international organizations have the capacity to handle 

global pandemics and health crises effectively?


Explore whether organizations like the World Health Organization 

(WHO) are equipped to respond to large-scale global health threats.


  1. Is the International Criminal Court (ICC) effective in bringing 

war criminals to justice?


Argue whether the ICC has been successful in holding leaders 

accountable or if its lack of universal jurisdiction hinders its mission.
