Bartolomeu Dias was the first European to round the southern tip of Africa. He named it Cape of Storms, but King John later renamed it Cape of Good Hope.
It was a bad decision on his part. Some may say his decision was good at the beginning but ultimately he made the choice to stay at war which led to a bad turn of events. Millions of dollars were spent on this and it wasn't even really successful, so I believe that was a poor decision.
Answer:
It can be corrupt
It is often ineffective
Explanation:
The biggest criticism towards the United Nations goes for:
- It can be corrupt; there's accusations towards the United Nations very often that it is corrupt, and that it serves mostly in the interest of the United States and the western world in general, and objectively speaking it does look that way more often than not.
- It is often ineffective; there's countless examples of the inefficiency of the United Nations, and lots of those kind of seem like the United Nations don't want to solve. Simple example is the name issue between the Republic of Macedonia and Greece. Even though in the law of the United Nations stands that every country has the right to choose its own name and no one can forbid it, and even though the Republic of Macedonia won in the International court over the issue, Greece is blocking its northern neighbor to get into the organizations like NATO and the EU because they are not allowing the term Macedonia to be included in the name of the country. The United Nations did literally nothing to force Greece to respect the law of the organization which they are obliged to do.
