Recent U.N. interventions include the Sri Lankan civil war in 2009 and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Australia joined the U.N. in 1945 as a founding member nation.

 @BB2XX3H answered…5mos5MO

Australia should use the UN Security Council to police the UN and push in support of Israel and against Hamas, Russia, Iran, China, Venezuela, Hezbollah etc... Other than that Australia should work with allies like US, join the Board of Peace in Gaza and kick Russia, Turkey, Qatar and Pakistan out and also work on a plan to circumvent and create a new and similar organization that can work in conjunction with Board of Peace and overall get rid of and around the UN.

 @B93L63Kanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, we should be more involved in the issues that are helping the planet (like decreasing CO2 emissions)

 @B57NYYHanswered…1yr1Y

Yes; the peace, security and cohesion provided through the United Nations (UN) forum of countries is vital to Australia. Through the UN initiative, shared objectives are identified, with a focus on delivering real world change on the issues that matter most, including: climate change and the environment; the protection of human rights; as well as humanitarian aid for famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict.
