Primary Objective of the United Nations

With respect to the United Nations, its primary objective include the maintenance of international peace and security in the world, the development of friendly relations among nations, achievement of international cooperation in solving international problems, and the harmonization of the actions of states in order to achieve all these goals. The UN Charter is also akin to a Constitution, and indeed it is a constitution for all nations states since majority of countries are members of the said organization. It is considered a constitution because the principles of the UN are reflective of what has been fought for by states such as freedom, economic strength, peace and cooperation.

But, the UN is not considered a world government because not all states become member of the same. The presence of disparity of opinions and governance among states despite its membership of the UN does not make the said international organization a world government. Finally, I believe that a world government becomes possible to achieve in the future for majority of countries vie for peace and harmony within the international arena and their collective efforts are relevant to the same hope of a world government. With that, a balanced representation among states must be reached if a world government would be developed in order to maintain international peace
