THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN CONFLICT RESOLUTION: EVOLUTION OR EROSION?

International groups (IOs) have traditionally played a pivotal role in preserving peace and resolving conflicts around the world. From the League of Nations to the United Nations, their evolution displays both high aspirations and serious challenges. This article explores how IOs have adapted—or failed to adapt—to the altering nature of conflict. While some agencies have advanced thru new mechanisms and regional cooperation, others face developing criticism for inefficiency, political bias, or erosion of authority. Is their role truely evolving, or are they witnessing a decline in relevance? This paper investigates this tension thru historical case studies, modern examples, and integral analysis.
