Fifty Years of the United Nations

Livia Kardum ; Faculty of Political Science, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The author describes the political situation and the relations among the victorious powers following World War II as well as their intention to create such an international organization for protecting peace and security, which would avoid the shortcomings of its predecessor, the Leauge of Nations. Though this goal has been only partly achieved, the Organization of the United Nations has significantly contributed in preventing many political crises to escalate into wider conflicts.
