Texto:
During the 20th Century, the world witnessed the emergence of two major organizations international in scope. The first was The League of Nations, born out of the Treaty of Versailles that put an end to the First World War in June, 1919. It was dissolved in April of 1946 when confronted with its obvious failure. Although its explicit purpose was to promote cooperation among nations and secure peace, enforce international law and scrupulously respect treaties, the truth is that it never even approximated such noble intentions. We could even say that its epitaph was the Second World War.
If U.S. President Woodrow Wilson inspired the League of Nations, it would be President Franklin D. Roosevelt who inspired the United Nations, a new organization that after the horror of World War II would be the global organization charged with promoting peace and friendship among nations. Born in October 1945 with 50 representatives, today it boasts the accession of 192 member states.
The U.N. was conceived of as a great forum for addressing issues of concern to all humanity, not the least of which are: to protect future generations from the scourge of war; reaffirm peoples' faith in fundamental human rights; create the conditions for upholding justice and respect for international treaties; and promote social progress and better standards of living. Confronted with the current state of the world, one might easily think that as the League of Nations failed to prevent the world from descending into barbarism, the United Nations has become little more than a politically inept and ineffective bureaucracy that provides demagogic speeches on behalf of the world's powerful.
If the figure of U.N. secretary general once commanded influence, its current role in world politics is almost nil. Its ability to mediate global conflicts of every kind is effectively void, and it has shown again and again its incapacity to save future generations from the scourge of war. The lamentable events in the Persian Gulf and North Africa show the limits of today's strongest. The same can be said of the U.N.'s promise to promote social progress and better standards of living - a commitment never kept with the abandoned villages of sub-Saharan Africa and many countries in Latin America.
The diluted role of the U.N. in world affairs is one of the symptoms showing a crisis of global institutions in this century. When any large multinational corporation has a higher budget than many states, and when such firms have a greater capacity to function on a global scale than the United Nations - it is a sign that the global political space within which the U.N. sought to preserve peace and justice has become something else: a market prepared to preserve profits at any cost, regardless of whether it involves the environment or condemns millions to poverty - and without the slightest concern for the flag of some small country clamoring for its sovereignty.

Bill Gates
William Henry "Bill" Gates III (born October 28, 1955)[3] is an American business magnate, philanthropist, author and chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen. He is consistently ranked among the world's wealthiest people[4] and was the wealthiest overall from 1995 to 2009, excluding 2008, when he was ranked third.[5] During his career at Microsoft, Gates held the positions of CEO and chief software architect, and remains the largest individual shareholder, with more than 8 percent of the common stock.[6] He has also authored or co-authored several books.
Gates is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of the personal computer revolution. Although he is admired by many, a number of industry insiders criticize his business tactics, which they consider anti-competitive, an opinion which has in some cases been upheld by the courts.[7][8] In the later stages of his career, Gates has pursued a number of philanthropic endeavors, donating large amounts of money to various charitable organizations and scientific research programs through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, established in 2000.
Gates stepped down as chief executive officer of Microsoft in January 2000. He remained as chairman and created the position of chief software architect. In June 2006, Gates announced that he would be transitioning from full-time work at Microsoft to part-time work, and full-time work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He gradually transferred his duties to Ray Ozzie, chief software architect, and Craig Mundie, chief research and strategy officer. Gates' last full-time day at Microsoft was June 27, 2008. He remains at Microsoft as non-executive chairman.
