The UN's Failure to Prevent Wars and Violence
The United Nations was formed in response to a global appeal for peace after World War II. However, despite its efforts, the UN's history has been marked by a succession of wars and violence. The continuation of the Cold War is making the UN increasingly unworkable and undermining its usability. Conflict zones such as Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Rwanda, Darfur, and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict have experienced violence despite the UN's constant presence and calls for peace. The need for solutions that prioritize the protection of civilians and ending violence is crucial.
