People in Muslim Nations Conflicted About UN: Favor More Active UN With Broader Powers, But See US Domination and Failure to Deal With Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Abstract

A poll of seven majority Muslim nations finds people conflicted about the United Nations. On one hand there is widespread support for a more active UN with much broader powers than it has today. On the other hand, there is a perception that the UN is dominated by the US and there is dissatisfaction with UN performance on several fronts, particularly in dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
