What action did the United Nations take after World War 2 that led to a lot of conflict in the Middle East?

The question is driving at the decision to divide Mandatory Palestine between a Jewish State and an Arab State according to UNGA Resolution 181 (II). However, the qualification of "much" is problematic. While this resolution is responsible for some of the current conflict in the Middle East, most of the sources of Middle East conflicts are endemic to the Middle East and are not due to any UN Resolutions. For example, the Arab-Israeli conflict is the only conflict that resulted from UNGA Resolution 181 (II) and even most of that conflict still would have taken place without a UN resolution since both sides were already fighting. Also the Lebanese Civil War, the Iran-Iraq War, the Persian Gulf Wars, the current Syrian Civil War, and numerous other conflicts in the Middle East have nothing to do with UNGA Resolution 181 (II).

Does the UN help stop genocide?

It depends on the genocide. There are some genocides, like the East Timor Genocide, that the UN did help to stop. There are some genocides, like the Rwanda Genocide, that the UN ignored. There are some genocides like the Holocaust, which occurred prior to the UN's existence.


East Timor was once a part of what country?

Portugal. East Timor was known as Portuguese Timor since it's colonisation by the Dutch in the 16 century. It was 'decolonised' in 1975 after a revolution in Portugal in 1974. Independence was unilaterally declared (ahead of planned elections) by FRETILIN on 28 November 1975, after an 'alleged' civil war between UDT and FRETILIN. The reality was, the hastened process of declaring themselves an independent country was an attempt to avoid a planned invasion of East Timor by Indonesia, it was thought that The UN would 'protect' the status of that newly formed 'independent state'. In December 1975, the independent country of East Timor was invaded and colonised by Indonesia, the UN declared it an illegal act, but nothing was done to help by any other country. The country remained under the yolk of Indonesian control for almost 25 years, until a belated UN sponsored 'ballot' in 1999. This was to finally decide the status of 'Timor Timur' (the Indonesian name for Timor 'east'), it was thought by Indonesia that this would formally integrate East Timor as the 27th province of Indonesia. They were so very wrong, the overwhelming majority of the population of East Timor did NOT vote for integration, they finally got to have their say, and voted for independence.
