Among the successes of the U.N. are the maintenance of
peace. Despite the eruption of conflict,
it still manages to preserve the universal peace wherein it would not lead to a
full scale global conflict. It has
provided many humanitarian missions around the world. It has also apprehended war criminals and
tried them for crimes against humanity. It has provided food for areas where
people are starving due to lack of food.
It also has its share of failures such preventing the ethnic cleansing
campaigns in Bosnia and Rwanda. There
was the oil for food scandal where food was provided and paid in cash but it
went to the hands of private individuals.
It is more successful in humanitarian missions because it has the
support of the countries concerned as well as the international community. It has difficulty in military security
because it cannot intervene through military might.because it would be pulled into the conflict.
