What is the United Nation's role in maintaining world peace?

The United Nations plays a role in maintaining world peace. This is done in several ways.


One way the United Nation’s maintains world peace is by trying to resolve issues that arise with other countries. The United Nations will study global events and then make recommendations. If the recommendations aren’t followed, the United Nations may issue sanctions against a country. These sanctions could include travel sanctions and economic sanctions. It is possible that the United Nations will also take military action against a country. The United Nations will create a multinational force to deal with a crisis. For example, in 1950, the United Nations created a multinational force, led by the United States, to remove North Korea from South Korea. This action was required when North Korea, unprovoked, invaded South Korea and wouldn't leave. North Korea nearly succeeded in taking over South Korea. However, with help from the United Nations and the multinational force, this action by the United Nations was successful as North Korea was forced out of South Korea.


There are other the ways the United Nations can help to maintain world peace. One way is by bringing those who are responsible for criminal activities to trial. For example, Slobodan Milosevic was put on trial for war crimes he was accused of committing in the former Yugoslavia. Another way is by engaging in diplomacy. The Secretary-General of the United Nations and other representatives of the United Nations will work with countries to try to resolve their differences peacefully. For example, the United Nations has worked to bring peace to the Middle East.


The United Nations has worked to improve people’s lives. This work has included helping people who have experienced a natural disaster as well as helping to fight the spread of diseases. It has also worked to bring clean drinking water to people who don’t have it. The United Nations wants to try to eliminate the conditions that might lead people to consider going to war.


There are many steps the United Nations can take to maintain world peace.
