THE FUTURE OF THE UNITED NATIONS: CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES
The United Nations (UN), established in 1945 in the aftermath of the Second World War, has played a pivotal role in addressing the world's most pressing challenges, including peacekeeping, development, and humanitarian aid. However, in an increasingly complex and multipolar world, the UN faces numerous challenges that threaten its relevance, effectiveness, and ability to meet modern-day global needs. This thesis explores the future of the United Nations by examining its key challenges, such as geopolitical tensions, institutional inefficiencies, and financial constraints, and discusses the prospects for reforming the UN to better address contemporary global issues. By evaluating the UN’s historical achievements and analyzing the present-day obstacles it faces, this study proposes solutions for making the organization more responsive to the needs of the 21st century.
