Is the UN The Most Powerful Organization in The World?

 

Now we know how much power the United Nations has, and its limits, letโ€™s think about where that leaves the UN in relation to other influential global organisations. Is the UN actually the most powerful organisation in the world?

 

The United Nations is one of the most powerful international organisations. However, other international organisations, such as NATO, the European Union, and the Asian Development Bank, also have significant global authority. Importantly, the UN is not more powerful than national governments.

 

Although we tried, really, this is a very difficult question to answer. The UN definitely has significant global authority, however there are a range of other international organisations that have similar mandates to the UN and also have huge influence worldwide. However, as with the UN, none have more power than national governments, essentially making them the most powerful organisations in the world.

 

National governments aside, letโ€™s do a quick comparison between the UN and some other highly influential global organisations with similar mandatesโ€ฆ

 

When comparing the UNโ€™s global power to that of other international organisations, its important to look at three main categories. The first are mutual defence organisations, such as NATO, the CSTO and SEATO. The second are inter-governmental organisations, including the European Union, African Union, and ASEAN. The third are international financial institutions, such as the European Investment Bank, the Development Bank of Latin America, and the Bank of International Settlements. These three types of organisations all have mandates that cross-over with that of the United Nations.

 

Mutual defense organizations, such as NATO, have similar mandates to the UNโ€™s โ€“ to ensure peace and security. However, NATOโ€™s mandate, for example, only covers its European and North American member states. The power of mutual defense organizations differs from the UNโ€™s as they can take their own military action. Their authority also differs from the UNโ€™s as they do not pass resolutions or engage in other areas of humanitarian and development work.

 

It is debateable if the UN or organisations such as NATO are more powerful in the world. The UN likely commands more global influence, but NATO, for example, is more powerful militarily.

 

Inter-governmental organisations, such as the European Union, are hugely powerful globally. Their mandates can be similar to that of the UNs as they drive development, ensure security in their regions, and create a forum for nations to conduct dialogue.

 

Importantly, many inter-governmental organizations can pass laws that supersede that of national governments, making them more powerful than the UN. With that said, their power lies only in their regions and they are not global organizations like the United Nations.

 

Finally, a group of international organisations that also have significant global power, and mandates similar to that of the UNโ€™s, are international financial institutions. These include the Africa Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and the Council of Europe Development Bank. These organisations pool the financial resources of several countries in order to fund development projects within their region.

 

Many would argue that the United Nations is more powerful organizations the many international financial institutions. Where-as international financial institutions have significant economic power, they lack the global profile and influence of the UN. Itโ€™s important to remember the largest and most important international financial institutions, such as the IMF and World Bank, are part of the UN.
