Global Poll: Skepticism of UN over protection of human rights

18 countries were involved in a multinational study that was conducted on the issue of human rights and responsibility of the UN in the Darfur region. The main point that can be generalized among all of the respondents is the strong belief that the UN has the responsibility to protect individuals from human rights abuses and other issues such as genocide even if it means nations acting against the interests or will of their own governments.

Unfortunately, this poll also expresses the lack of support and optimism that nations have regarding the strength and responsibility towards protection that the UN was established and created for.
