Weten & Geweten
The United Nations was set up in 1945. Following the horrors of World War II, there was a strong desire for a better world in which peace would be maintained and human rights respected. The ideals, laid down in the United Nations Charter, were lofty, the ambitions likewise. Now, more than 60 years later, the image of the UN has become severely tarnished. Not only are international peace and security in a perilous state, but scores of stories are flying around demonstrating that the UN and its Security Council have done more harm than good. Or the "Oil for Food" program in Iraq, which resulted in the wrong people reaping the benefits. An eye-opening film about the downfall of the ideals of the world’s largest and most respected humanitarian organization.
