The Disconnect Between Words and Actions: Evaluating the United Nations as a Peacemaker in Contemporary Conflict Resolution

6 Jun 2024, 16:45

Description

This paper critically examines the efficacy of the United Nations (UN) as a peacemaker in the context of contemporary conflict resolution, shedding light on the apparent gap between rhetoric and tangible outcomes. Through an interdisciplinary lens that combines political science, international relations, and conflict studies, the research explores instances where the UN's proclaimed commitment to peace has diverged from the actual impact of its interventions.
The analysis delves into key UN initiatives in conflict zones, dissecting the dynamics that contribute to the observed disconnection between stated goals and realized outcomes. By scrutinizing both successful and challenging cases, the paper aims to identify systemic issues within the UN's approach to peacemaking and proposes avenues for improvement.
In assessing the gap between words and actions, the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the challenges facing international organizations in promoting peace. This research is essential for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners seeking to bridge the divide between intentions and results, fostering a more effective and responsive UN in the complex landscape of contemporary conflict resolution.
