Abstract
Being
an international organization, the United Nations has played an outstanding
role in facilitating cooperation in international law, international security,
economic development, social progress, human rights and maintenance of
world peace. The pursuit of human rights has been remained a focus point in the
objectives of the UN. The atrocities of the World War II and genocide,
highlighted the need that the new organization must work to prevent any similar
tragedies, which would be expected in the future, So on the basis of early
objectives, the UN has created legal framework for considering and acting on
complaints about human rights violations. The UN has succeeded to promote peace
as well as to ensure human rights at global level. The UN ensuring human rights
and peace through a special mechanism, peace-keeping missions and forces, state
to state contact and through its observers. The apartheid in South Africa is
one of the most painful examples of the human rights violation in which
majority of black inhabitants were curtailed extremely based on racial
segregation. The apartheid was developed after World War II by the
Afrikaner-dominated National Party, and the UN stimulated this issue immediately
at its first gathering in 1946, placing South Africa on the agenda. The UN
successfully resolved the issue of human rights violations in South Africa, but
ultimately it take very long time to eradicate apartheid from South Africa and
after forty years, South Africa was able to conduct fare and free elections
with cooperation of the UN and other international communities.
