BİRLEŞMİŞ MİLLETLER’İN COVID-19 İLE MÜCADELE SINAVI

II. Dünya Savaşı’ndan bu yana karşılaştığı en büyük küresel sorun olan Covid-19 ile mücadele konusunda bugüne kadar etkili bir çözüm üretememiş olması, zaten ciddi anlamda sorgulanmakta olan Birleşmiş Milletler’in varlık sebebini tekrar tartışmaya açmıştır. Benzer şekilde Birleşmiş Milletler’in uzmanlık kuruluşu olan Dünya Sağlık Örgütü de kendisinden beklenen performansı gösterememiş; ağır eleştirilere maruz kalmıştır. ABD, özellikle Covid-19 nedeniyle suçladığı Çin konusunda etkili soruşturma yapmadığı, görevini gereği gibi yerine getirmediği için Örgüt’e sağladıkları fonu askıya alma kararı almıştır. Sözkonusu durum, evrensel düzeyde kolektif tedbirlerin alınmasını zorlaştırmaktadır. Uluslararası barış ve güvenliğin korunmasında başlıca sorumluluk verilen Birleşmiş Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi, daimi üyelerin karşılıklı suçlamaları ve görüş ayrılıkları nedeniyle pandemi ile mücadelede etkili kararlar alamamıştır. Öte yandan, salgından en fazla etkilenen devletlerin Güvenlik Konseyi’nin daimi üyeleri olması da ironiktir. Devletlerin sınırlarını kapatarak tek yanlı mücadele yöntemleri yerine işbirliğine dayalı yöntemler ile mücadele etmesi konusunda Birleşmiş Milletler’in en kısa sürede harekete geçmesi beklenmektedir. Covid-19 salgını sonrası ortaya çıkacak sosyo-ekonomik krizler ancak küresel işbirliği ile aşılabilecektir.

THE CHALLANGE OF UNITED NATIONS IN RESPONDING TO COVID-19

The fact that it has not been able to produce an effective solution to combat Covid-19, which is the biggest global problem it has faced since World War, has opened up the reason for the existence of the United Nations, which is already seriously questioned. Similarly, the World Health Organization, which is the specialization institution of the United Nations, did not show the performance expected from it; it was subjected to severe criticism. The USA has decided to suspend the fund they have provided to the Organization, especially since it did not conduct an effective investigation on China, which it accused of Covid-19, and did not perform its duties properly. This situation makes it difficult to take collective measures at a universal level. The United Nations Security Council, which has been given the primary responsibility for the protection of international peace and security, could not act due to the mutual accusations and disagreements of permanent members. On the other hand, it is ironic that the states most affected by the outbreak are permanent members of the Security Council. It is expected that the United Nations will take action as soon as possible to prevent the states from closing their borders and fighting cooperative methods instead of unilateral methods of struggle. The socio-economic crises that will emerge after the Covid-19 outbreak can only be overcome with global cooperation.
