effectively.
3. Complex Conflicts
- Many conflicts today are internal (civil wars) or involve non-state actors
like militias or terrorists, making traditional peacekeeping difficult.

multiple factions and foreign powers.
2. Challenges:
- Syria: Ongoing conflict despite diplomatic efforts.
- Rwanda Genocide: Failure to prevent mass atrocities.
- South Sudan: Ongoing violence and challenges in peacekeeping despite
UN efforts.
VI. Conclusion
The UN plays a crucial role in maintaining international peace, but its
effectiveness depends on member states' cooperation, sufficient
resources, and political will. The complexity of modern conflicts—many
involving terrorism, civil wars, or power struggles—requires innovative
approaches and strengthened partnerships with regional organizations
and NGOs. While the UN has faced significant challenges and
criticisms.
