I am currently looking for a topic for my essay for my class. I am allowed to explore any aspects relating to the UN systems. But i have no clue on where to begin. Are there any suggestions?
I suggest that you choose the subject of United Nations reform, especially with the transformations that the international system has known, and how the new balance of power can affect the structure of the United Nations.
I think you should start by considering the experience of the League of Nations. You should emphasize that United Nations system was built on the failure of the League of Nations experience.
It is also useful to consider the US and USSR conflict in the first years of the UN from historical and political perspectives. While the cooperation in UN was against the common enemy Hitler and Germany, after a while the US turned into an ideological struggle of the USSR, so China's membership in the UN was delayed for about 30 years
UN interventions mostly on developing countries context only rather than developed countries issues. There are huge problems existing in developing countries. The most important area of conducting research on the following recommended areas such as conflict resolutions, governance, and human rights, gender equality, poverty reduction, environmental protection, and natural resource management, climate change and climate action, environmental degradation and ICT applications on Agriculture, etc. Are you talking about the UN functions and the performance of activities? Make it clear.....
I suggest you consider critical analysis of the UN efforts in peace-building and conflict resolution given the rising global insecurity.
Also, evaluation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in developing nations based on the fact that the agenda has ten years from this 2020 to end.
Furthermore, the UN commitment and engagement with the industrialised nations on Climate Change Initiatives.
Is the retention of the veto by the five permanent members of the UNSC sustainable in a world where many of the most pressing issues such as climate change can only be effectively resolved on an international basis?
