=Hello, =

===Welcome to my personal Wiki. My name is Constantin Nemec. I am 11 years old and was born in Germany. My topic is the UN Peacekeeping. What I have done so far is finish my definition Paragraph, my 3 Questions and my Bibliography. Next I have to organize a meeting with Mr.Bently or Mrs.Rosinger to show one of them what I have done so far. ===

 ...............................This is my definition Paragraph:

The United Nations is an organization of nations around the world. The mission of the UN is to bring countries and people together so they can discuss their problems and find solutions, helping with friendly relationships among the Nations, working together with countries to solve problems of economic, social, cultural and humanitarian and being a place where Nations can come together to talk about world problems. One of the main/interesting purposes of the United Nations is how it keeps peace and safety in the world.

 .....................Now my 3 Questions:

1.How do the UN decide where they will help to keep peace?

For example, they chose to help in Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban.
 * The United Nations decides to help a population that is endangered by a dictator.
 * All the member countries of the UN discuss in the plenum (the problems) to

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Where: in a country where the population is endangered

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Only if 2/3 of the countries agree to the solution the UN made ,they will help.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Afghanistan, Sudan, Congo... > influence in the different Nations where they are helping. > political strategical reasons for example, they want to have good > relations with an oil-filled country like the Sudan. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">

 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Currently the German Government is thinking about a peacekeeping mission in
 * <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Germans feel that the German Soldiers should protect the civilian population.

 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They don’t only help because they want to be nice they also help because of
