In this week’s part 2 of 2, Problem With episode we continue on our discussions about the UN. Annaig takes a look at how the rotation of members on the Security Council plays a role in the aid given to the same countries, the diplomatic and political criticisms of the United Nations. Henna then discusses some of the times the United Nations has failed to act in international crises. We then listen to an account from a whistleblower, who witnessed sexual abuse while on a peace keeping mission.
