International Organizations Are Not Useless
This video argues that international organizations are not useless but rather useful. In this, this argument used the definition of intergovernmental organizations to explain how the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are not useless but rather useful to the world. After examining the three international organizations and discerning their achievements and failures this research found that international organizations are useful to the world. Nonetheless, ASEAN needs to be explored more as it is not as well-known compared to the UN and the EU.
