International organizations and international cooperation
There are many organizations in the world, which work and cooperate
together in dealing with international problems. Some of them are official, the
other are public. Among them are the United Nations Organization, The Red Cross
League, Greenpeace and many others. Let's take, for example, the United
Nations. It is an organization to which nearly all the countries of the world
belong. It's headquarters are situated in New York. Its central aim is to
maintain peace and security in the world, to develop friendly relations among
nations.
Greenpeace is an international organization, which deals with
ecological and environmental problems. It was formed in 1971. Now it is a
powerful organization, which works all over the word. There are many serious
actions in the list of Greenpeace activities. The national offices exist in 27
countries of the world. In Russia Greenpeace was formed in 1992. It works here
on four directions: Wood Campaign, Antinuclear Campaign, and Campaign for
preservation Lake Baikal. Greenpeace tries to attract public attention to different
problems in the world and find out who is guilty. It is financed by personal
voluntary donations of its supporters. One more organization I'd like to speak
about is the World Wildlife Fund. It was formed in 1961 by a small group of
people. Now it is a large organization. The aim of it is to sake animals and
plants of the world. It has raised over 35 million pounds for conversation
projects and given support to National parks in five continents. As for me, I'd
like to join Greenpeace organization. I am extremely concerned in ecological
problems in our country, especially in our region. It is very important what
water we drink, what food we eat. Besides, it is the place where I live. We
must save our land for future generations.
- What international organizations do you know?
- The formation of international organizations has been a 20th- century phenomenon. Nowadays there are more than 2,500 inter national organizations. Among them are more than 130 intergovernmental unions. The United Nations Organization is the most notable. Other important organizations are the European Economic Community, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Organization of American States, and the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance.
- Why did people create international organizations?
- The creation of international organizations on a wide scale in the 20th-century is the result of the progress in the technology of communication, transportation, warfare, and the spread of industrialization. These developments gave rise to a sense of interdependence among the peoples of the world, and made people recognize the importance of international co-operation to avoid the dangers, solve the problems, and use the opportunities which confront the society of nations on a world-wide scale. Some organizations are concerned only with single and relatively narrow problems, while others, such as the United Nations and the UNESCO, deal with a great variety of matters. Moreover, international organizations function as either intergovernmental or nongovernmental agencies.
- Can you dwell on one of the international organizations?
- Yes, I can tell you about the European Union.
- When was the European Union created?
- The European Union was created November 1, 1993 out of the European Economic Community.
- How did the European Economic Community come into being?
- The European Economic Community (EEC) was founded in 1957-58 to oversee the economic integration of the nations of Western Europe. In 1967 the EEC united together with the European Coal and Steel Community and the European Atomic Energy Community to form the European Communities, or EC.
