The Extent to which the International Community Needs a New International Organization considering the United Nations' Failure to Maintain International Peace and Security

Abstract

The need of the International Community for an order to guarantee collective security led to the founding of "the League of Nations" in 1919, with the aim of maintaining International Peace and Security.

However, the outbreak of the Second World War demonstrated the failure of "the League of Nations" to achieve this objective, prompting the International Community to found "the United Nations" in 1945 to take the role of "the League of Nations", with the same objective of maintaining International Peace and Security.

Despite that, since its founding in 1945, the United Nations has arguably failed to achieve its outstanding objective that is to be maintaining International Peace and Security. Moreover, the fact that there is no Third World War that has outburst has not outburst does not alter this reality. The world has witnessed—and continues to witness—numerous armed conflicts that the United Nations has been unable to put under control, mainly due to the use of the (Veto) power by the permanent members of the Security Council.

Considering this shortcoming, the query arises as to the extent to which the International Community Needs a new International Organization to take the role of "the United Nations". This query constitutes the core of the issue to be argued in this research.
