What are the challenges of UN intervention in global conflicts?

What are the main challenges the UN faces when intervening in conflicts?

The UN faces several challenges, including political disagreements among member states, lack of resources, and the complexity of local conflicts.

How do political disagreements affect UN interventions?

Political disagreements can lead to delays in decision-making, ineffective resolutions, and sometimes even a lack of intervention when it's most needed.

Can you give examples of successful UN interventions?

Yes, successful interventions include the UN's role in East Timor's independence and the peacekeeping efforts in Liberia.

What about the failures? What went wrong?

Failures often stem from inadequate mandates, insufficient troop contributions, or a lack of cooperation from local factions, as seen in Rwanda.

What can be done to improve UN interventions?

Improving UN interventions could involve better training for peacekeepers, clearer mandates, and stronger political will from member states.
