The Essay:
U.N was established following the 2nd World War to establish the world security regime and to ensure long lasting peace in the new global order. To achieve this rhetoric, the U.N devised different ways to combat the elements threatening the world security or peace. One method is its military engagement. That comes in the form of Peacekeeping mission and Military Observer groups deployed across the world states facing some sort of security or peace crisis. The performance of such military engagements led by the U.N are however not seen as a greater success. There are factors that reveal that as the military engagements of the U.N are increasing, the world keeps on drifting from the path of peace and peaceful coexistence. The apparent manifestations supporting this assertion lie in the failure of U.N led peacekeeping missions and military observer groups to ensure peace in African countries of Congo, Sudan and Somalia. Further, the failure of U.N military engagement in ending the Middle Eastern crisis has clearly depicted the situation of deteriorating world peace amid the futile efforts.
