THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE UNITED NATIONS IN PREVENTING CONFLICTS IN THE WORLD IN THE CONTEXT OF THE 2023 PALESTINE-ISRAEL WAR AND A MODEL PROPOSAL

The United Nations (UN), founded after World War II to address global issues, especially security, and to promote international consensus, has struggled to maintain its effectiveness in preventing wars. Over the years, the addition of new member states, shifting global power centers, diminishing resources, and increasing environmental crises have further challenged its ability to achieve this goal. The view that it cannot fully function with it scurrent structure as a result of these factors has begun to gain weight in the World public opinion. In this context, various platforms have voiced the need for reform, calling for the UN to be restructured to enhance its effectiveness and restore its credibility, yet no concrete outcomes have been achieved. In this study, the inadequacy of the UN’s intervention in the October 7, 2023, Palestine-Israel War and its ineffectiveness in ending the conflict will be examined. The study will begin by presenting the current structure of the UN, evaluating its impact, and investigating the reasons for its failure to ensure peace. A model proposal will then be introduced to prevent future conflicts. Finally, a general evaluation of the subject will be made, offering suggestions for addressing power imbalances in the emerging world order, for preventing conflicts, and for making the UN a more effective international organization, ensuring fair representation for all societies globally.
