The United Nations Versus the European Union

“We the people of the United Nations determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of a human person, in the equal rights of men and women in nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.”

Thus is stated in the preamble to the United Nations Charter, declaring the main purposes of the organization itself and setting the standards and guidelines for which international relations would be moderated for the next half century and then some. As the United Nations has grown, other organizations have taken its model of openness, cooperation and debate and employed its tactics towards their own purposes of regional stability. One of the first organizations to employ the larger goals of the United Nations in a more regional-specific environment was what is now known as the European Union. The European Union acts as a forum in which common goals of a region ar


The methods used by the EDF to achieve their goals are very similar to those of the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund in conjunction with the World Bank; these two auxiliary agencies of the United Nations organization offer loans and financial assistance to nations in order to build their infrastructures and support and stabilize their economies.

To enact the ambitious goals of repairing the social and economic progress of the European region, the European Union has the Economic and Social Committee that was founded to monitor agriculture, rural development, the environment, employment, social affairs, and citizenship among many other things. Its progress is remarkable; “the treaty of Rome contained a minimal and disparate number of articles concerning social and employment affairs,” whereas today’s committee, although still working towards its goals of complete eradication of poverty, inequality, pollution and poorer standards of living in different regions, has made amazing progress towards its goals by increasing legislation in proactive manners (i.e. coordinating national policies regarding health-care in a welfare state manner).

The European Union also deals outside of the European continent through the Lomé Conventions, which were signed in 1975. These conventions provide the European Union with a way to deal with its colonial past, and to aid countries that were once colonized by the member states of the EU. These states are known as African-Caribbean-Pacific Group (ACP) and have grown to include many developing nations. The EU aids these nations financially through Article 132 of the Treaty of Rome, which provides “de facto recognition of most favored nation status for trading access, and to non-discrimination in the right of the establishment for citizens and commercial ventures.” It also gives loans and financial investment through the European Development Fund in these nations, thus stimulating the economies and attempting to instill some amount of political stability in these nations through the carrot-stick method of economic incentives. Since 1991, the EDF has suspended financial aid from countries that have not held democratic elections after pledging to do so.
