I had this idea last night and couldnt stop thinking about it ever since.
Imagine a United Nations Entity within Eve, its council and members would be all of the territory holding alliances, over time a charter could be developed created by the members of course,
here are some of the things it could handle.
Dispute resolution, border disputes, trade agreements, "the articles of war" rules of engagement, anything its members want to bring up and seek a binding agreement on.
Rules of POS warfare ? could be something in this one....
over time it could develop a peacekeeping force ?
i know the point of eve is heavly combat focused and this idea might sound silly, but it doesnt nessacerrly prevent wars, it could be a method to resolve them or even start wars if a good reason can be proven and verified.
one of the best features of UN NE could be its transparency, where meeings and resolutions could be made public, im sure the eve playerbase would love to see the MC contracted in to deal with a "rogue state" , or a galaxy wide agreement on pos warfare that would make it less tedious for everyone involved. these are just some of the aspects that i thought of,
what do you think.

Aye right. Thats going to happen. Can't see it tbh. Eve is not just about Pew Pew but the mystery of who is on whos side, or even if anyone is.
I think of it more of the Warsaw Pack v Nato. How much use was the UN in that?

while in paper it may seem viable (and I think it sounds like a great idea, and a lot of fun to run and organize), I honestly don't believe it's going to work out. Just like the UN in real life, it's only as strong as its members, so you would have to get all of the great alliances to join and abide to the rules, which is going to be very hard to do since the bigger alliances are generally uninterested in this sort of Roleplaying.
Also, since the galaxy is currently divided into 2 camps more or less, it would be very hard to achieve the level of neutrality needed to do this.
Hope the imput helps,

Its unneccesary. Disputes are resolved in Eve by smashing the other guys***** in. No need for big government.
edit: When RSF & Our northern friends finally finish kneecapping the BOB camp, folks can feel free to create a "UN". It'll give us a handy list of alliances to murder.

The real United Nations is a bit of a joke to be honest. Very few people take 'em seriously, even in their specialty: human rights. I'd imagine an EVE version would be taken even less seriously. Besides, just about every territory-holding alliance in EVE wants to drive at least one other territory-holding alliance out of 0.0 entirely, or at least smack them into submission, and I don't think that's very conducive to galactic cooperation (unless someone conquers everyone else, which is becoming rather unlikely with POS warfare).

It might be nice for the RPers but like the real UN, it won't work without all the major powers accepting its authority. That is not going to happen.

Would the Eve UN be as inept and impotent in solving problems as its RLÖ counterpart? Will it's rulings also be twisted by the major players to be used as an excuse to wage wars of aggression? Will BoB and Goonswarm have a veto for any votes on the security council?
Firstly, my friend, I suggest you learn a little about the United Nations.

Well, eve really doesnt need a UN. 0.0 is based on territorial warfare, what good is a organisation that would limit that? and a peacekeeping force? you mean a carebear protection force? it would fall very quickly imo. PvP is the name of the game in 0.0

That is actually good idea and i like it because of its PvP potential .Perfect for another good PVP fest after anti-bob war ends(whenever that happens) .
EVE alliances like to wage war,it is essential part of the game and if you bring out EVE UN on table it would be perceived as threat to independence of those alliances.Only way to implement such an idea is by brute force and you would require support of strong alliances to start with to do that.

Peace would probably slow down the exchange of territory enough to make your map relevant though ^_^

OOO, low blow 
But yes, remaining on topic, if anyone would ever put together something like that, it would as be people said before, a mostly unrecognized and mipulated organization. Not to mention I can imagion the shouting matchs going on between the BOB side and the colition side.
We also have interest of the fact that universal peace is great for the carebear corps and alliances, but it would decimate the market. Fewer people shooting at each other means less ships and mods being sold meaning less isk. And let's not get started on the drop in mineral prices.
The thing is, EVE is a game of mostly pvp. Even empire is never completely safe. If someone wants to kill you, they will find a way. And alot of people move out to 0.0 for the fighting with no boundries (baring from CCPs "exploit list"). Of course, the carebears want to go and mine the ark and brist and crokite and sell minerals w/o much worries of getting randomly attacked, but that's what makes Eve so much fun. If people want to grind without being randomly attacked and killed, go play WOW.
What would probably happen if someone started such an organization, is that it would go similar to what happened to the (sorry ccp, but easiest way to explain) League of Nations, were they had no backbone and fell.
Going back to the pvp aspect, the UN ED would be an organization of peace and carebearness 
I don't know about you, but I play EVE to shoot at my fellow man/woman
EDIT: I also forgot to mention I play to look at the pritty ships and how thy go BOOM!!!

TTI actually for a long time used to have a question along the lines of "how would you think an organization similar to the UN would function in EVE?"
Well, anyone that said that such an organization would function well had wasted his chance of getting into TTI.

I see this as having alot of potential. It will, however, require a good amount of dedicated people willing to do alot of work convincing alliances to join/write articles/the foundation of the organisation.
There are alot of possibilities in it that many alliances in eve without a doubt would (at some point) see an opportunity in. Peace would not have to be a goal by any means, thats no fun, but ensuring the fun would be a goal. The current Great War may be a bad time to begin this, but certianly not an impossible one.
It does not have to be a replica of the current IRL UN organisation, nor would that work in eve (as i stated above already).
People asking if it will be as toothless as the current UN really have no clue (just to adress this). Saying it is toothless and "twisted" is based upon clueless observations and assumptions. Certainly the current system has flaws, but the organisation itself has not only proven to be very resilant in a number of occasions, but also proved its worth very much, the obvious evidence is the lack of a 3rd WW.
Back on topic. For eve it could do alot to ensure fun and to add to the drama that is the political scene :p
EDIT: However the goal of maintaining the majority of alliances in it, may be too much for any organisation, seeing how ambitions and general directions of an alliance change very rapidly in eve.

I think it would add a wonderful roleplay aspect and make it much easier to seperate the legitimate from the useless on the Corp/Alliance Discussion forums.
It would be very cool, but very difficult to establish. It may also have to perform a somewhat different function than the UN irl, because in the real world desabilized areas an conflicts are disruptive for the entire international system and economy, not to mention tend to be the breeding ground for intense human suffering. In EVE, human suffering doesnt really enter into it except perhaps neutral entities caught up in conlficts; and on the other point, conflict doesnt affect other alliance frequently and it's GOOD for the economy.

I find the idea of a "Geneva Convention" for the rules of POS warfare kind of funny. You could pass sanctions banning POS-spamming, or banning all-hardener POSes and anchoring a billion turret batteries so that after the POS is dead you have to shoot through ~300 million HP.
How would you enforce it, though?

Idealistic organizations all fail.
The real world UN succeeds not because an idealistic peacekeeper is wanted or supported, but because it supports the agenda of the most powerful world players (the countries on the security council). The UN still has no military funding of its own. Troops are donated by member countries on goodwill alone.
The UN exists and continues to exist because it's politically useful to those on the security council, and for that reason alone. It legitimatizes their interests, and keeps smaller conflicts down so that it can push democracy and free trade around the world, creating bigger trade markets. You think its by accident the major players all have veto power over anything the UN says or does?
The league of nations failed. The UN has succeeded. Thats because they are fundamentally different.
