Describe the two basic reforms of the U.N. on which almost everyone agrees that they are necessary after the Cold War.
The United Nations was established in 1945 and now needs reforms in its structure and working. Some scholars are of the opinion that reforming the United Nations means a restructuring of the Security Council. I fully agree with this view. In fact, if we are really interested in reforming the U.N. then we must reform the Security Council. The Security Council is one of the most important organs of the United Nations. The Security Council is mainly responsible for maintaining international peace and security. The Security Council decides issues involving the deployment of armed forces. The Security Council may take such action by air, sea, or land force, as may be necessary to maintain or restore international peace and security.The Security Council consists of 15 members, five of which are permanent members of the Security Council. The permanent members enjoy Veto power. If we want to reform the U.N. then reforms should be made in the Security Council because it is one of the most powerful organs of the U.N. The Security Council reflects the global power structure of 1945, when many nations of the world were still under colonial rule. Some countries and experts want the organisations to play a greater role in peace and security missions, while others want its role to be confined to development and humanitarian work.
