I added the Anthem of the U.N. Thoughts? Nurusa101 (talk) 20:45, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nop as it is clear to there is no official anthem or hymn for the UN. And we don't do here any promotion for anything. If one day some is adopted then yeap. Nubia86 (talk) 06:56, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taiwan, was expelled from the UN in 1971 because of a UN resolution that recognized the People's Republic of China as the sole legitimate government of China and moved all the rights of the Republic of China to the PRC, also expelling Taiwan from the UN. On the map, Taiwain appears marked on light blue as a UN member, when it should not. It's not a minor detail considering the UN is a international organisation for the cooperation among world governments, and considering the Wikipedia page about UN Members even has a section reffering to the expelling of Taiwan, it shouldn't be marked on the map. Can someone incorporate a map with the issue solved please. 190.150.46.41 (talk) 04:17, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Taiwan is technically not a eligible state and the sheer existence of the country is disputed upon. Taiwan counts as the territory of the Peoples Republic of China. Rynoip (talk) 22:48, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know that the PRC claims sovereignty over Taiwan but my understanding is that they have almost total de facto independence. The article about Taiwan is also quite explicit that Taiwan/the ROC isn't a part of the PRC and does exist as a country, "Taiwan, officially the Republic of China (ROC), is a country". Taiwan/the ROC just doesn't function as a part of the PRC and the PRC only claims that it's their rightful territory not that they currently control it. I mean one of the P5 switching governments was a big moment in the history of the UN I think that should be reflected in the article WikiFreedom23 (talk) 09:03, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Since 1971, the Republic of China, also known as Taiwan, has been excluded from the UN and consistently denied membership in its reapplications. The UN officially adheres to the "One China" policy endorsed by most member states, which recognizes the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate Chinese government. Critics allege that this position reflects a failure of the organization's development goals and guidelines, and it garnered renewed scrutiny during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Taiwan was denied membership into the World Health Organization despite its relatively effective response to the virus. Support for Taiwan's inclusion is subject to pressure from the People's Republic of China, which regards the territories administered by Taiwan as their own territory."

THis was from the UN article. Rynoip (talk) 21:57, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
