International peace and security.
One of the primary purposes of the United Nations is maintenance of international peace and security. Since its creation, the United Nations has often been called upon to prevent disputes from escalating into war, to persuade opposing parties to use the conference table rather than force of arms, or to help restore peace when conflict does break out. Over the decades, the United Nations has helped to end numerous conflicts, often through actions of the Security
Council – the primary organ for dealing with issues of international peace and security. The Security Council, the General Assembly and the Secretary-general all play major, complementary roles in fostering peace and security. United Nations activities cover the areas of prevention and peacemaking, peacekeeping, peace-building disarmament.
Civil conflicts
During the 1990’s there have been major changes in the patterns of conflicts with more than 90 percent of conflicts taking place within, rather than between, states.
The United Nations has therefore reshaped and enhanced the range of instruments at its command, emphasizing conflict prevention, continually adapting peacekeeping operations, involving regional organization, and strengthening post-conflict peace-building.
To deal with civil conflicts, the Security Council has authorized complex and innovative peacekeeping operations. In El Salvador and Guatemala, in Cambodia and in Mozambique, the UN played a major role in ending war and foresting reconciliation.
Other conflicts, however – in Somalia, Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia – often characterized by ethnic violence, brought new challenges to the UN peacemaking role.
Peace-building
The experience of recent years has also led the United Nations to focus as never before on peace-building – actions to support structures that will strengthen and consolidate peace. Experience has shown that keeping peace, in the sense of avoiding military conflict, is not sufficient for establishing a secure and lasting peace. Such security can only be achieved by helping countries to foster economic development, social justice, human rights protections, good governance and the democratic process.
