The Evolution of the United Nations Peacemaking Strategy: The Second Wave of Reform

Abstract

From its foundation in 1945 until the present time, the United Nations Organization has gone through a series of reform attempts, some of which have been achieved but not most. However, we can say that the 1990s witnessed more serious and determined attempts to adapt the organization to the surrounding international environment. The aim of these attempts was to keep the organization as the primary sponsor and the most neutral and acceptable party for states and the rest of the international actors, and to have the greatest capacity and the deepest influence in all its interactions. We can describe these attempts and the subsequent reform steps as the second wave, which resulted in a set of practical measures, formulating of new strategies, and the establishing of a number of organizational joints that greatly contributed to the implementation of those strategies in line with the vision of the leaders of the international organization who wanted to move the United Nations to a higher level. of international performance and interaction and taking responsibility in accordance with its principles to which it committed itself and codified it in its charter, but with a new approach that is more modern and interactive than what was prevalent in the past. Therefore, a new pattern of responsibility was formulated that was adopted by the United Nations as a basis for its work, efforts, and endeavors to confront crises and solve problems facing the peoples and countries of the world, and a number of joints were established that are a milestone in relation to those efforts, endeavors, and how the United Nations can Through it, it manages global affairs and its great repercussions, which are becoming more complex and overlapping.
