The United Nations Security Council

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses how, as with any large bureaucratic organization, the United Nations is fraught with ineffectiveness and organizational disarray and how, in particular, recent crises such as the Iraqi Oil for Food Scandal and the un-answered genocide in Darfur have revealed an organization ill suited for the emerging 21st century and the problems that it bears. The paper attempts to analyze some of the proposed measures currently being considered in an effort to best determine the most effective and meaningful route through which reformation measures can be taken.
