Many people throughout the world believe that U.N. has the
responsibility to protect people from genocide and severe violations of
human rights, even if it means acting against the will of a country’s
government, a survey conducted in 18 countries says. Several respectful
organizations conducted the survey, including Chicago Board of World
Issues and several international public opinion centers. The public
opinion center of the Armenian Strategic and National Research Center
also took part in the study.
Chinese reported the highest rate of those who believe that U.N. has
to intervene, followed by USA (74%), Palestine (69%) and Israel
(64%). The majority of the Armenian respondents also believe that
U.N. Security Council must sanction military intervention to prevent
genocide or similar crimes.
