Limitations of the United Nations
The UN is often widely criticized for being an ineffective organization. The UN is often blamed for an inability to resolve complicated situations. However, can only help with issues that countries agree to cooperate with. When countries do not cooperate, there is little that the UN can do to help in these situations.
A current example of an on-going dispute in which the UN has little power is the conflict between Iran and Israel. Iran has called for Israel’s destruction and does not recognize it as a country.
