  • Answer:

    Good: Instead of battling it out on the battlefield, its a war of words as diplomats solve conflicts through dialogue and discussion. Instead of tanks and missiles, lets just talk it out. Also, in most sessions, every nation (there are 193 of them) get to have a say. If a nation is wrongly attacked or has civil unrest (e.g. Bosnia, Kosovo, East Timor, Somalia, or Haiti) then the UN can send troops in, after an international consensus by the nations of the world. Bad: This process of dialogue can take months, or even years (or even decades, like North/South Korea, China and Taiwan, and others). When there comes time to do something (Syria), not all the countries are in favor of doing something (Russia, China). This makes the UN appear useless while fighting goes on.

Strength: It is representative of all sovereign nations of the world. It stands for and strives for promoting international peace and security. It promotes and involves itself in humanitarian activities and helps poorer nations to raise their standard of life. Weakness: Extra powers enjoyed by the Big powers. The much criticised one is the 'veto power' enjoyed by the permanent members of the UN Security Council. This had to be there as otherwise, in the circumstances prevailing at the time of its formation, it would have been impossible to bring them all under the organisation. In some cases the 'veto power' used had benefited the smaller nations. Another criticism is that it has no teeth, that it has no Army. It is made to depend upon units sent by willing member nations. Keeping a permanent Army will pose other problems, like an acceptable mode of recruitment and training and quartering and command.
