The UN Secretary-General wants to hear from you

[MrSquareyez]

i dont trust the UN. They are the ones that want a one world government and one world currency. And now that the worlds population has hit 7billion, they want world leaders to start trying to controll the populations. The UN IS NOT GOD! Who gives the UN the right to decide if people can have kids or not? They can end famine in africa if they want, but what they want, is people to die, keep the numbers down. Its ALL one BIG scam for the NWO!

[big7881]

I am glad to see him in the world leading peace organization and also being proud of he is representing the country as a symbol. :]

[MrBullfrog9876]

Tell them to shut down the UN and then tell them that all countries just go home and mind their own business and leave everyone else alone.

[MrDANIELDMARTINRIOS]

We want Humans Rights recognition in countries like Libya,Syria,Cuba,North Korea ,China respected We  want our polititians to do more to favor clean energy production as Wind ,Solar and Biofuels

[sirkanemc]

Another chance please! Another one......?

Mr Ban I think you are very pro-US. If you want ICC to investigate Gaddafi for crime against humanity you should similarly include Tony Blair and George Bush who are instrumental in the illegal war against Iraq as you know killing many innocent civilians just to provide 'Shock and Awe'. Remember we are not stupid.

[saekopurin]

I can't understand your english sorry

[GTPeaceMaker]

Even President Obama understands his accent...what are you?

[GrafitiWall]

Since the UN is basically the entire world, and that Ban Ki-moon is the Secretary General of it; you could say he's the head of the world.

[uwcollegeboi222000]

For the poster who said the Anti united nations. I would like to differ on that when

Israel's key partners in the Security council

Are europe and America. Every resolution

going back to Ghali to kofi annan. Has been

in favor towards Israel. Where was people

to say something about the Palestians and how they over take the settlements.

Ask your self that, or what they did in

lebanon. Israel will never accept responsiblity for anything they do wrong

in the political climate in that region.

[StanleyBlade392]

The UN Security Council raises a Resolution and that Resolution has to be Enforced.

When the first Gulf War happened Resolution's were implicated on Iraq and Enforced by the UN Members as it was in there interest.

Many Resolutions have been passed over Israel but not a single one has been Enforced by the Members of the Security Council.

Why because the UN has been created by the Western world for the West and her interests.

P.s I loved the Country and WESTERN music, that said it all.

[Medawar333]

I am glad to participate in this competition, special thanks for the United Nations, and congratulations for the five winners.

Salutations,

I find the United Nations is anti-Israel...

Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia have worse human rights records than Israel...they should be condemned as much as Israel...

[robertuk2006]

I agree

Countries such as Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia do have a worse human rights record than Israel.

They should be condemned MORE than Israel!

[dushsh]

Asian HR record will be perfect if not for western powers and it's allies like Isreel

[kenwebbsite]

Yes! peace and love and all the general things that people say... but the idea I presented was a clear, simple way to achieve a more peaceful world, go check it out! General rhetoric is used to appease but not achieve. I thought the UN wanted good ideas. Not just public produced commercials for what they are supposed to be achieving.

[ariniki]

Interesting, Every winner is from US. Does it mean that the best live in America? Who can answer me?How about other continents?

I'm so sorry for other nations.

[simshox]

the resultats are out

[carlosyorietta]

Congratulations 5 winners. You Deserve it!. Excellent videos.

[TheFreeAdviceMan]

The UN asked what we think can be done to make the world a better, safer place. A group of typical U.N. technocrats decided whose videos would win! What did those video tell us? We all know what the problems are! It is very distasteful, unethical to exploit images of starving people to win! No new ideas, no real solutions! My video offered a genuine solution/idea and I would not be so upset if the winners videos did too. You included 2 videos where many spoke: are you going to invite them all?

[ariniki]

I wish the best for all the people who joined this competition, I would like to know who are those lucky winners. They could choose at least ten winners. Anyway that was a good chance. Thanks

[narconect]

just stop the veto option and the un will be taking seriously..!!!!!

this right to "VETO" from the "SUPER POWER'' make the UN look like '' TALALITALALA"

so if i could say something to maybe change the futur or resolved problems as definitly the first thing i will do is to ban thoses VETOS JOKES

ellel moshe

[olive0826]

i submitted a video!!!!!

yesterday at 10:40 am EST time

please watch!!!!!

[unitednations]

THANK YOU ALL for submitting videos and/or comments to this video contest.

The deadline has expired on 10th October 2009.

The winners will be announced on the United Nations Channel within the next few days.

It will certainly be a very difficult decision for the committee to select (from the combined list of entries in the 4 promotional videos) the best 5 video entries.

Good luck to all.

[marlaymooink]

My video isn't a response?! I set everything up... Hopefully it goes through!

[vparamai]

Hope my video was posted on time.

[Avaskabas]

Looking forward to the results.

[ariniki]

When will they choose the winners? anybody knows?

[RealizeReality]

My video has been posted, hopefully on time. It is a great privelage to be able to communicate directly with the UN, even if I am not chosen as one of the 5 winners (though it would be AMAZING if I was!) It would be great to get any response from you.

Mauricio Antunano

[ursulapapkeHamburg]

I also think it`s a great concept for a new communication and to watch all these Videos with different people sharing their thoughts. It´s so inspiring!

[ariniki]

Now it's time to choose the winners, I wish i an be one. That's my sweet dream.

[ariniki]

Wow now it's time to choose the winners. I wish I can be one. That's my sweet dream.

[0249780277]

Dear Sir, I have been trying to upload my video for so many hrs now but to no avail.I just wish that I had more time to make my requests known to you through this encounter I had with a child who was hawking on the streets.(why she was there and why she did not want to stop)

[SaraMorale]

Dear Ban ki-moon

I wish be one of the winners, because i want to be on UN.

I am Studyin International Relationsship

this is a good oportuinity for th epeople arround the world.

Thanks

[SaraMorale]

I hope that mi video could be one of the 5

[talolaimy]

Fantastic to see people from all around the world contributing !

[helunia]

Yeah, that's nice, isn't it! It's such a strong experience!

[sweer2002]

Dear sir,

I want to publish my complete video but it didnt' uploaded here.Kindly approve my second video that i posted.

Thank you so much.

Sweer Kumar

[honeybean90]

i have uploaded my video as well thank you :)

[helunia]

Dear Secretary General,

I have uploaded, I hope successfully, my response.

Thank you for the opportunity.

[ArielleKelly]

This is such a wonderful opportunity...I have added my video response "Give Us Hope"...I can't see it on here yet so I hope it comes through ok. Its the first time I have ever made a video and had an intensive learning experience trying my heart out to do it right in a short space of time lol.

[wolfgang8u]

Nice video. We live in a world that is wired together through net,business and finance. So what do people suggest we dont talk to each other and try to reach a round table of peace. I really support the UN and its missions. They have done a lot of good. I personally thank the WHO also because there contributions lead to a wonderful hospital that my child was born in in july . keep up the good work UN

[socratesification]

okay....if you punish the BAD...areas of a country...i think you should honour GOOD areas of a country...so the bad can see they are the ones suffering...not the good...jeez....think think...think...change is not one by war and immediate new rules...divide the line into criminals and citizens.....please...with respect to your...in guns blazing style....a person that calls canada home

[vinzdevency]

(this is my next comment from previous one)... there were oppressions, looting, killings, etc. done by the "bad" nations. Then there was WWII. If U.N. is really united against unscrupulous, oppressive, undemocratic "bad" nations, then the U.N. must unite in consensus and should choose WAR against those "bad" nations they deemed to be, so that there will be LONGTERM PEACE. Appeasement can promote abuses of "bad" nations.

[aycilforallus]

Thank you. I sent my video to you. I hope it works all right...

Kind Regards...

[wngmltjr]

i sent my video to you, sir, and thank you

[mnadotcom]

Dear Ban Ki Moon,

I uploaded and posted my video but I don't know you get that or not.

[socratesification]

agnesb14...if you post it to facebook any of your friends can send it for...i'm sure they would be glad to...

[agnesb14]

Mr Ban Ki Moon,

My video is ready but I live in Turkey, and Youtube is banned (and very difficult to use here). It is available on my Facebook Page (Agnes bayatti) : who can I send it to on Facebook if I can't manage to download it here ?

Thanks & regards.

[mermaidgirl560]

I got this idea yesterday while watching a documentary about the wars in former Yugoslavia...

Countries such as Congo-Kinshasa and Somalia, that are war-torn should be FLOODED with positivity from outside and inside, like TV programs from the worlds happiest countries: Iceland and Denmark, countries such as Sweden that has had peace for almost 200 years, and other countries that have positive things to rolemodel. This can be communicated through media and word-of-mouth for example.

[ArielleKelly]

i have never made a video before but i am going to make one and submit it...I am just not sure if we are supposed to speak it or present it in words and pictures or with music...maybe thats up to us? I will watch a few that have been already completed and see what they look like. Good luck everyone, the voiceless ones of the world need us all to speak up for them!

[marygp4]

podrían publicar la información también en español?

[albertsantome]

tenes que mandar un video en "publicar una respuesta en video", no mayor a una duracion de 3 minutos; con tu idea de como hacer de este mundo un lugar mejor y más seguro.

[komodius]

all cultures should lay down their pride, and talk as if we were all friends from elementary school or smt. pride is what makes borders, we should not be afraid of losing face. it is about time the world realized we share one planet in the whole galaxy. We need to pay more attention on our environment. as detail as it goes to chemical compounds. because of they exist, we exist. no sun? we all die. we need to show consitency to our lives and changes. there are so much more, but next time

PEACE

[jcrainier]

where are your videos????????/???

[silversurfer268]

i am reminded of the blind (indian) men describing an elephant. the first graps the leg and says it is like a tree. the second the tail, a rope. the third the trunk, a vine. the fourth the side, a wall. the fifth the tusk, a spear. and the sixth the ear, a leaf. they are all wrong because they do not have the big picture.

here's hoping that somebody sees something that has eluded the world's leaders and makes the world better. they offer a high-class world stage for a class act.

[tawab55]

We have to change the rolles of the U N as faster as we can .

We can't accept any more that 5 countries control the future of all the world !!

I think that NewYork becomes not siutable to have the UN but Swiss may be more siutable ?

The secratary general must be more positve and have the power to face the 5 big countries .

M.Shalaby

[Medawar333]

WORLD PEACE !!!

[hartejoseph]

national sovereignty should prevail is what I would say

[vjorion]

If a world leader is more concerned about his salary than his country, he should not be a world leader. They have to ACT instead of talk so much. How long have they been discussing global warming? What have they done so far? Australia has the worst polution if calculated by polution per citizen. US and China are the worst countries in global polution. China has now made commitments to decrease CO2 drastically but without giving exact figures. But the US?Nice speeches, but how about some actions?

[rodrigoquiros]

they already know wat needs to be done...but we live on a society where if theres no profit there are no interests to develop any kind of project...theres enough resources on earth to cover all the needs...but hey, lets forget about that and lets invade another country, welcome to the real world Mr. Secretary!!!

[thepoet82]

I suppose we should all 5-star and favorite this movie, so that it goes viral. :-)

I mean the general secretary of the UN is speaking directly to the youtube community! That is pretty big!

[shholc]

Global incentive programs for any company's who can develop green renewable energy technology, water purification, advanced food harvesting techniques medical needs that can reach the poorest of nations. This and other efforts can help stabilize regions and promote the reality of world peace. Isolationism and ignorance of these prevailing problems are going to keep us in this stalemate economic enviornment.

Making global care awarness a priority and launching an army of altruism.

[silversurfer268]

i know the world has limited resources and technology, but the un exists because somebody believed peace and dialog was a better way. please don't forget the dream.

[MLSUSA]

I can't believe there are only 15 comments for a video on the UN youtube channel. Tells you about society...

[sumayahrose]

what is even scareyer is that the george cloonie vid had like 22, 000 some views.lol. and there is only like a totaly of 40 videos or so uploaded. There is approx 10 more days for the contest.

[kaychaos5]

exctly, miley cyrus gets more views than the secretary general:

this is pathetic reallly!

[socratesification]

...use water technology and engineering to provide clean water to farms...allowing countries to feed themselves and it would help the economy because you would have people caring for the land/help with illnesses because the food would be fresh/provide hope for the hungry/give them strength...the United Nations would help dissolve conflicts this way...people would not be as angry and feel satisfied that they are providing for themselves and their community...thank you for asking...always canada

[socratesification]

...net neutrality....

[diragusa]

do you add it "Video Responses "?

[RUSSELLSMITHful]

Libian Pres. made important comments. UN means all Nations must be present. No walk outs or empty seats to be part of UN. All Nations must recognise comments and counsel from All.

[TamilVoice]

World largest Prison detaining 300,000 Tamil Humans including 40,000 Tamil Childrens!

World largestt Interment camps denying freedom of movement to civilians!

World ignores the humanright violations commited by Sri lanka goverment against it's socalled citizens.

World ignores the violations against freedom of media in democratic world.

World ignores Independent Non Goverment Aid agency's fact finding Statements about the camps.

World ignores the Basic Humanrights of Tamils in Sri Lanka.!

[IHEUUnitedNations]

Watch the video by the NGO IHEU at the United Nations : GIVE MORE POWER TO VICTIMS

[LeedsRhinosfan2007]

Bitter ones or recovered ones?

[Narzanka]

Agree with Don1772.

It's sad that we don't care of anything around us. May be it's because no one is caring for us?! May be we are scared to talk. May be we don't believe that our voice will be heard...And so on.

[legastv]

Citizens of the World, we unite the World if we say how to do it !!!!!! :-)

[mytoyo2k1]

very good point Leeds, but like godlovesbootstraps mentioned google al gore's research. I believe we already know whats wrong with the world today and we need to take more action and less talking. The world leaders should lead by example, talk is cheap actions speak louder than words.

[Don1772]

Odd... I thought there be more people commenting this... Like COME ON! Its United Nation here! Like when do you ever get a chance to share your ideas to the United Nations world leaders?

[LeedsRhinosfan2007]

Most young people dont care about Politics these days myself included to an extent because we cant relate to it. Most of us are too busy chasing a better life rather than a better world!

[thepoet82]

I completely agree.

Excellent UN video on one side, 3000+ views.

Fred' last video on the other side, 1.000.000+ views.

Probably says more about the users of youtube than anything else though.
