The United Nations as a world organization has gone through different epochs of time facing various challenges and changes since its inception. While it has done a lot in saving humankind in its diverse fields of activities, yet it has failed to function legitimately and effectively according to the principles of its Charter which have brought its existence and relevance under criticism and questioning. The UN after the end of the Cold War, for a short period of time, gave a new hope to the world that it would now work genuinely according to its member-states will in an environment of cooperation and understanding between its member-states for common goals.
