Will the United Nations Fail in Its Role as Protector of World Peace

The League of Nations failed because member states were unable to set aside their own self- interests. Following World War II, the victorious allies were determined to build an organization that would serve as a protector of world peace. The United Nations was born in San Francisco in 1946, and for fifty years successfully faced the threat of nuclear devastation, the Cold War, the end of colonialism and the emerging power of the developing countries. The end of the Cold War brought about renewed optimism for the future of the United Nations. However, with the dawn of the new century the future of the United Nations remained uncertain. The future of the UN appeared to rest in the organizationas ability to address the threat of terrorism, world hunger and the need to restructure the United Nations to overcome the image of an organization that can accomplish little but talk.
