This document discusses the United Nations system of collective security established after World War II. It compares the UN system to the League of Nations system that failed prior to WWII. The key aspects of the UN system include the Security Council with 5 permanent members having veto power, tools for the Security Council like peace operations, sanctions, and military enforcement under Chapter VII, and partner organizations that can assist the Security Council like the General Assembly and regional organizations. The document examines how the UN system was designed and how it has operated over time to maintain international peace and security.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
Luck: how do we evaluate the UN System?
Has the UN and the UN SC made a difference?
3 Qs:
1 - has SC succeeded in getting members to make real commitments to decisions?
2 - has SC carried out ops competently and efficiently?
3 - has SC made a real difference to maintaining peace & secy?
What is the SC charged with doing that the League did not do?
Focus Group I: answer basic questions
UN was name for anti-Axis alliance – was in operation during WWII
P3/4/5 – FDR: US, UK, Russia, China represented ¾ of world’s population
Dumbarton Oaks produced blueprint for UN, Security Council
Big issue at Yalta: Stalin wanted all 15 Soviet republics to have UNGA seats – got 3
UNSC, GA – GA resolutions non-binding
Ambivalence between US, others over how wide P5 veto power should be – US initially wanted some limitations
Procedural votes to require 7 to pass, other matters 7 votes with no P5 vetoes
-- disagreement over what was ‘procedural’
-- ended up that veto applies to peaceful settlement, new members, appt of SG, Charter amendment
System rapidly devolved into bipolar rivalry – 1949 Chinese civil war left KMT govt ruling over only Taiwan
Chapter 7 resolutions to be enforceable
Focus Group II:
What are the main points Luck identifies about each type of tool?
What criteria of evaluation does he use?
How does he evaluate it?
Do you agree/disagree? Why?
Initially: faced Soviet expansion, decolonization instability, Israel/Palestine
Early pattern of response set tone for institution
Most rely upon Ch. VI, not Ch. VII, but resort to force remains in background, available
Peacemaking: Art. 1; since end of CW, UN-led negotiations to end civil wars
-Angola, Mozambique, SA, East Timor
-difficult cases remembered more easily than successes: Israel/Palestine, Cyprus, Kashmir, Korea
Peacekeeping: worked at Suez ‘56; UNFICYP has succeeded; UNPROFOR failed at Srebrenica, Zepa
-problems: high demand since end of CW, high cost
Peacebuilding: reintegrating combatants, rule of law, police training, human rights, governance, capacity building
How did the Korean War start? Soviets boycotted UNSC sessions because of RoC seat
UNSC passed Res 83 – recommending members aid RoK
Sovs said UNSC didn’t have authority, as N-S Korean fighting was internal/civil war
UN Charter negotiated before ICBM nukes - need for pre-emption?
Was I.2.4 restriction on use of force already obsolete?
How has ch. VII worked? Post-CW: Kuwait
Why is Art. 51 important? Kosovo, Iraq interventions were justified under Art. 51
-self-defence: must notify UNSC first
-so what counts as self-defence? whatever a member wants to say it is?
-Russia’s argument against US invoking Art. 51 for Syria intervention
43: All Members of the United Nations, in order to contribute to the maintenance of international peace and security, undertake to make available to the Security Council, on its call and in accordance with a special agreement or agreements, armed forces, assistance, and facilities, including rights of passage, necessary for the purpose of maintaining international peace and security.
51: Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defense shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security.
Why these choices?
Rôle of diplomacy short of war – meets UN charter obligation to resolve disputes peacefully whenever possible
CW UN diplomacy often hamstrung by US-Soviet rivalry
-UNSC Res 181 (‘63) – voluntary arms embargo against SA govt – became mandatory ‘77 UNSC Res 418
-UNGA ‘62 – end transport, political links– ’68 end sport culture links – voluntary and oppo to ending ec links
-UNGA ‘73 – Apartheid Convention – apartheid as crime against humanity
Post-CW activism – diplomacy becomes much easier
Who do sanctions and embargoes hurt? Are they better than war?
-US sanctions against SA: Comp Anti-Apartheid Act 1986 – to ‘91
Kuwait sanctions (Op Desert Shield) – good faith attempt to force S Hussein to withdraw
Oil For Food – way to mitigate impact of Iraq sanctions on civilian population
Willingness to implement is key
What are the promises and problems of each?
GA - leverage in SC - Uniting For Peace Resolution UNGA Res 377 (1950)
-UNGA can meet, make reccs for peace when UNSC fails to reach P5 unanimity – 10 UNGA special sessions held
ECOSOC – Peacebuilding Commission intergovernmental coop – Burundi 2007
ICJ – founded ‘46, judges elected by UNSC, GA
UN-NATO coop since early 90s – 2008 Declaration on UN/NATO Secretariat Cooperation
-NATO support for UN-backed AU ops in Darfur
-UNSC Res 1973 (2011) on Libya supported by NATO – protect civilians from attack
-UN-mandated disaster relief in Pakistan ’0
- delivery of World Food Programme ships protection from Somali pirates
No official standing for NGOs at UN
SC draws on NGOs as knowledge base
Eminent person diplomats: UN Goodwill Ambassadors
