Do International Organisation function in a democratic manner. Give five reason to support your answer.
Answers
Answer:
No they do not. Democratic institutions are based upon the idea that every individual is equal under the law of the land. International organizations have no authority to enforce this nor the ability. They must take into account the relative power of the states that are a party to the organization. A good example of this is the UN Security Council, where 5 states (US, UK, France, China, Russia) hold veto power.
The idea (at the time) was that any of these states could thwart a UN resolution if they truly wanted to, and therefore there should be a mechanism to dodge such a situation. It is not that China is wiser than Turkey, or the US is wiser than Lebanon, it is that China and the US are more powerful than Lebanon and Turkey. There is a long list of examples of hypocrisy in the way international organizations are run; one would be the US pushing for sanctions on Iran for enriching uranium while ignoring Israel's nuclear arsenal. Opinions on the matter are irrelevant; they are being held to different standards. This alone is sufficient to show that international organizations do not function in a democratic manner.
