Though the UN has failed in preventing wars and related miseries, nations prefer its continuation. What makes the UN an indispensable organisation ?

The following facts makes the UN an indispensable organisation :

(i) The UN can and has served to bring the US which is a sole superpower and the rest of the world into discussions over various issues.

(ii) The UN has brought together over 190 nations in dealing with conflict and social and economic development.

(iii) The UN provides to countries except USA an arena in which it is possible to modify US attitudes and policies. Although countries are rarely united against the US, the UN does provide a stage where arguments against specific US attitudes and policies are heard and compromises and concessions can be shaped.

(iv) In the modern world of globalisation or interdependence, the UN is helpful for seven billion people to live together. Technology will increase interdependence. In such a situation the UN will be helpful in finding ways which are consistent with the interests of a country with the interests of the international community.
