With the uprising in the need for the UN’s because responsibility of the UN is a major importance because it holds everyone accountable and makes sure that there are no problems that could come up in the future. Holding people legally responsible has many ways to go about it. It all depends on the crimes committed, how bad the crime is, and how it affects the other countries in the UN. Also, something that determines how the country is going to be held responsible for actions is the decision made by the UN to prosecute them. Thailand wants to follow the rules and doesn’t want a crime to go unpunished. They would most likely agree with the statement “eye for an eye,” meaning they would want the punishment to be as bad as the crime. Thailand would want the UN to decide what the punishment should be. Thailand would have a fair trial for the country that committed the crime. When it comes to deciding how to have order without imposing on international organizations, we need to limit the “immunity” that the UN officials have, depending on the crime. Crimes like fraud, sexual assault, and rape are examples of crimes that should not be included in the “immunity” that keeps UN officials out of jail. Thailand would prosecute any crimes that don’t have anything to do with the UN, like they are a normal individual/citizens. So, ways to hold countries and officials accountable are to look at the crime committed and decide if it has anything to do with the UN, and if it doesn’t, then they should be charged like a normal citizen without immunity.
