The Decaying of International Institutions - Politicised Inaction and Whataboutism

Author(s) Priyanshu Pandey

Abstract Whataboutism has destroyed the political, economic, media and social spheres of human life. It has made sure that there is no fruitful exchange of ideas or distribution of knowledge but it has converted debates and discussions into futile exercises of shaming, name calling and generating sensationalism. This paper sets a premise based on Public, Nationalist and Neo-liberal events to point out the development of the ideology of Whataboutism. Through an in-depth literary and objective review of political changes in the International institutions the paper works to establish a cause and effect relationship between the internal disintegration of International bodies and Whataboutist narratives in the public forum.

The paper focuses on three institutions - United Nations (political disposition), and International Court of Justice (legal disposition), to show the overall collapse of the International world order, leaving the local geographical bodies with power vacuums and broken financial tracks. It attempts to draw a parallel between the League of Nations and United Nations to show the signs and markings of obsoletion and inaction.

To present the gravity of the situation, the paper also supplies subject matter from three important geo-political situations - namely Israeli-Palestinian Crisis, Yemen Crisis and the Sudan-Darfur conflict for the United Nations jurisdiction.
