Reform of the United Nations between reality and ambition

Abstract

There are many doubts about the ability of the United Nations to carry out its tasks in light of the current international situation, despite the achievements it has made in settling many crises, as well as its failure in other crises, especially when it collides with the barrier of national sovereignty of the state and this matter is reflected in the role of the organization in settling many of international and regional conflicts, despite all the failures, it is still considered the focal point in settling international and regional problems, especially in the humanitarian fields, and is also a basis for constructive cooperation between global societies through conferences, agreements and assistance in many different fields such as combating poverty and epidemics and working to encourage Development in all countries, protection of the environment, non-proliferation of nuclear weapons...etc. Therefore, it is necessary to call for the reform of the United Nations Organization, noting that the demand for reform is not a spur of the moment, but rather appeared in the sixties of the last century to the present day, from several international governmental and non-governmental organizations, states and national movements, as the organization itself realized this as the General Assembly issued a resolution Requires a review of the Charter of the United Nations in 1974 AD, in order to activate the role of the United Nations and strengthen the authority of international public opinion, and calls for reform were issued by the secretaries-general of the organization through their annual reports. Based on the foregoing, the necessary reforms must be carried out for the organization, in order to achieve its goals in maintaining international peace and security, developing international cooperation and respect for human rights.
