After World War 2, US and the 50 other countries form the United Nation. The purpose is to prevent from war like World War 2 happen again. The two great power during that time, USA and the Soviet Union, and Soviet Union always try to spread communism and take over Europe and the Cold War between USA and the Soviet Union formed. For example, In 1962, UN secretary general provided valuable assistance as the primary negotiator between Nikita Khrushchev and John F. Kennedy during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Also in 2005, the Human Security Report shows that the decline in the number of wars, genocides and human rights abuses since the end of Cold War. We could say that UN is doing it's job at the start of peacekeeping and peacemaking.
Security Council is one of the meeting in United Nation and in the meeting countries talk about preventing countries going to war and solutions to violent actions in some countries. There are five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. They are all nuclear powers. Five of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council has Veto Power. Some people criticise the existent of the Veto Power. A Veto from any of the permanent members can stop any action that the Council may take. Although if the majority of nations agrees to one resolution, the veto power can stop it. For example, US has vetoed 32 Security Council resolutions critical of Israel, despite that Israel has never been elected to the Security Council. The five permanent members of the United Nations can veto any resolution that affect it's self-interest.
Gallup released a study on the American perspective of the UN and 66% of American believe that they UN is still necessary, but only 35% of Americans feels that UN was doing a good job of solving the problems they have faced. The reason to the decline in faith in the UN because there are various incidents since 2002 that UN has not really accomplish as much as it could have. The genocide in Darfur and Syria is one of the example. In the end the UNv is a good idea, it still make contribution to the world we live in.
