UN happens to be the only multilateral international body that provides a forum for all the nations across the world. The significance of UN (as also the agencies that come under it) is tremendous in international affairs. Unfortunately it does suffer from lacunas, particularly on the question of permanent members and veto power-colonial vestiges- an anachronism that need be rectified at the earliest. There is also the issue of the mechanism involved in carrying out the resolution passed by UN. 
Western countries, in particular US, has been undermining the power of UN for last many decades (some positive changes could be seen in recent times). While it was UN Security Council that passed a resolution authorising force to prevent massacre of civilians by regime in Libya, it somehow has became cause celebre of Nato. This is precisely how powerful nations (the capitalism angle of MNCs-we do have precedence-as also the imperialism reminisce is not a coincidence that should be taken lightly. That doesn’t mean a rant akin to likes of Chavez who incidentally has declared himself President for life!. Small tricks to stay in power. What need to be pointed out should be pointed out, that doesn’t make one communist. This blogger for one doesn’t live in polarised world). That Nato has no business to meddle, and has no authority is being conveniently ignored. Nato is a military organization of few countries, its presence in Libya is not only reprehensible but illegal. The need of the hour is to strengthen UN Peace Keeping Force. In the fast changing world the role of UN is crucial and every effort need be made to strengthen it. UN Secretary General has a huge responsibility and is not expected to play second fiddle to powerful nations.
United Nation Commission for Protecting the Democratic Rights and Liberty of People: every human being has individual rights that are sacrosanct in his/her being, referred to as Human rights but the political dimension of this right is also equally important. The right to choose their representatives, freedom for ind
ividual & collective expression, liberty to exchange views, thoughts and ideas so on. There are no two definitions for these as also no society is less prepared or more prepared for democracy. The transparency in governance and flow of information has key influences on important issues (like for instance the matters related to Environment or the way Development gets defined...it provides necessary restraint to free market). The events in Cairo as also what is unfolding in North Africa are spectacular examples that points to the plain truth that the aspirations of people cannot be contained/curtailed by state authority. Technology has empowered people as never before. The selfless commitments of bright youngsters and common people in Egypt cannot be forgotten. It is an inspiration for all the people across the world for generations to come. This blogger therefore strongly suggests that UN set up something on the line suggested above and may this blogger recommend that it be Headquartered at Cairo (wonder why these international organisations are located in West?). The events in Cairo have to be recognised and consolidated/institutionalized into formal organisation. The onus is on UN and international community.
