The future of the UN after Iraq

Ivan Šimonović

Sažetak

The UN cannot stay the same after Iraq. It is clear that Security Council can no longer keep up the illusion of a reliable guardian of the world peace and security. Croatia’s experience with the UN and Security Council reveals its weakness, indecisiveness and inconsistency. So, do we really need the UN or not? The UN represents the most important organization for global coordination. However, the changed circumstances meant a different treat to peace and security. The probability of global and interstate conflicts lessened, but the number of intrastate conflicts grew. Battles in the war against terrorism can be won by military power, but winning the war requires a global partnership. In the name of a new, more efficient UN, we should all make some compromises.
