Reason One: International Law
International law is one of the major reasons for the growth of the United Nations Organization. Different nations try to become members of the United Nations because of the numerous benefits of such membership. As contemporary society is known for its law-abiding representatives, everything is claimed to be performed in accordance with the international law system. In this respect, it is easier to adjust the laws of the country to the international requirement if a country is a member of the United Nations Organization. So, being considered a law-abiding country is one of the reasons for the growth of the United Nations.
Reason Two: Security
As all members of the global community have some different national requirements concerning security measures and rules and regulations of this issue, nations can join the organization in order to be secured from the interventions from other members of this organization. In accordance with the report introduced by Attina (2008), sometimes, interventions aimed at the establishment of peace and control of violence appear to be ineffective (p. 6). In other words, the more nations seek for security in the world, the more potential members the United Nations Organization has every year; this factor predetermines the growth.
Reason Three: Economic Development
Economic development seems to be one of the most important factors in the concept of United Nations’ growth because all country-members of the global community are engaged in the commercial and other types of economic relations hence being active participants of the international economic activity. As well as international law regulations, international economic regulations appear to be useful for all participants of international economic relations hence involving more members each year.
Reason Four: Social Progress
Social relations are an integral part of human life and all sectors of activity; this is one of the reasons for different countries to be willing to become members of the United Nations Organization and enjoy equal rights with other full members of this organization. As a rule, potential members of the UNO are required to establish a democratic political power to become eligible for the membership, otherwise being criticized by the global media. Thus, countries try to pass laws that are aimed at increasing their chances to become country-members of the UNO, including consideration of health care spending (Hagist & Kotlikoff, 2006, p. 2) and the retiring age factors.
Reason Five: Human Rights
Human rights include freedoms and liberties of people in different sectors of human activity, including economic, social, and political areas. Potential country-members take measures to become active members of the United Nations Organization to enjoy equal rights established and observed by other members of the organization. As a rule, countries that want to join the UNO are required to observe all international regulations concerning this sector of international relations.
Reason Six: World Peace Achievement
Peacekeeping is the hidden reason behind a desire to invade the country and misappropriate its resources under the veil of international security under the aegis of the UNO. In this respect, more and more countries try to join this organization to avoid being invaded. A membership guarantees, in a way, security, which brings us to the second reason. So, countries that want to become members of the UNO want to have some benefits from this membership; as a rule, those include some economic, political, and social privileges in the world arena compared to non-members.
