Il fondatore della Federazione per la Pace Universale, Rev. Sun Myung Moon, parla delle Nazioni Unite come di un’organizzazione che incorpora l’aspirazione dell’umanità per la pace. La sua importanza supera quella delle istituzioni religiose, dei governi nazionali, o anche altre organizzazioni internazionali. Lui specialmente sottolinea il potenziale delle Nazioni Unite per la liberazione dalla povertà delle nazioni sottosviluppate ed incoraggia lo sviluppo delle nuove nazioni democratiche. Crede, inoltre, che ci sia bisogno dell’elemento religioso e spirituale come forza trainante e direttrice per le riforme umanitarie, così come la mente funziona in armonia con il corpo.
