Armed Conflict and the UN

Paper Summary:

The writer discusses the thesis that the United Nations is nothing but a reflection of the whole world and is a collective repository of our own ambitions, failures and deceit. The paper uses sources from recent conflicts to prove that nations should stop blaming the UN and start putting their own governments in order.

From the Paper:

"The role of peace keeping and peace building that the UN was entrusted with is enshrined in its Charter. The United Nations Charter states that the main objective of the United Nations is to spare future generations from the scourge of war, to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace. The rising number of armed conflicts is sending a strong message to the United Nations that if it were to continue to respond to international crises in an effective manner, it must maintain the process of review and reform its peacekeeping missions."
