UNITED NATIONS (AP) - A global poll found solid support in the United States and several other countries for an expanded role for the world body in peacekeeping.
The poll done by WorldPublicOpinion.org reported that 72 percent of Americans said they would favor the creation of a standing U.N. peacekeeping force. The survey also found that 60 percent of Americans thought the U.S. should be more willing to make decisions within the U.N. system, even if that meant accepting a policy that was not its first choice.
GlobalPublicOpinion.org developed the poll, which the Chicago Council, a think tank, paid for in the U.S., India and China. Various polling partners conducted it in 14 other countries and the Palestinian territories, including Argentina, France, Iran, Israel, Russia and South Korea. The number of questions asked varied from country to country.
