ROLE OF THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION, AND CHANGING DIMENSIONS OF PEACE AND SECURITY

Abstract

The founders of the United Nations Organization intended it to play an unprecedented role in world politics. It was the role of a truly global organization of the states committed to human welfare through the preservation of peace and order. It means that states are expected to follow liberal principles while devising strategies for the pursuit of national interest. The U.N charter provides room for economic, political as military intervention in potential dangerous conflict likely to threaten peace and order. Whenever intervention has been channelized through the U.N the results have been more often than not, beneficial for peace and order in the world. The U.S.A interventions in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and Syria have resulted in the destabilization of the entire Middle East. The role of the U.N.O humanitarian and peacekeeping mission in maintaining peace and security by averting humanitarian arises and containing conflicts never is exaggerated.
