Building Social Solidarity Across National Boundaries

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : The United Nations has provided a very useful locus for discussion and action on issues of concern to organizations dealing with women's rights, environmental protection, human rights, poverty, and other issues, with frequent conferences devoted to these concerns.
60% : Even so, over the course of modern history, social movements have managed, to a remarkable degree, to form global networks of activists who have transcended nationalism in their ideas and actions.
50% : Admittedly, the United Nations is a confederation of nations, where the "great powers" often use their disproportionate influence -- for example, in the Security Council -- to block the adoption of popular global measures that they consider against their "interests.
32% : Conversely, the ability of global institutions to focus public attention upon such matters has deeply disturbed the political Right, which acts whenever it can to undermine the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the World Health Organization, and other global institutions.
