Challenges
1.Although the UN puts forward the
central principle of national
independence, it fails to ensure that
nation remains independent and
sovereign.
e.g annexation of Crimea by Russia
illustrate the UN’s inability to ensure the
nations’ sovereignty.
 Challenges
2. The main weakness of the United
Nations is the lack of its own army.
Initially, a military unit was planned to be
added to the Security Council in order to
tackle problems more efficiently,
however, the idea remained on paper
only.
 Challenges
3. The distribution of power today
does not reflect the needs of the
current global community.
 Challenges
4. The UN is comprised of people mainly
over 40 or older. The staff of the UN
needs to be comprised of at least 30%
of the younger generation who might
bring their fresh insight and modern-
day expertise into the core of the
organization.
 Challenges
5.Concerns for improving
efficiency, avoidance of
duplication, and the minimization
of waste in the functioning of the
entire UN system.
 Challenges
6. Potential threats to peace and security-
poverty, disease, and environmental
breakdown conflict between states,
violence and massive human rights
violations within states and terrorism
threats from organized crime.
Non Conventional Challenges
1.Climate Change:
2.Growing population:
3.Population Ageing:
4.Refugees:
 Reforms
1. Financial Reform : The Member States
should pay their contributions
unconditionally, in full and on time, as delays
in payments have caused an unprecedented
financial crisis in the UN system

2. The UN still does not have a clear definition

of terrorism, and they have no plans to
pursue one.
Reforms
3.Security Council reforms:
- Composition of Security Council
- UNSC Veto power:

4. Management Reforms: To confront global

challenges and to remain relevant in a fast-
changing world, United Nations must empower
managers and staff, simplifies processes,
increases accountability and transparency and
improves on the delivery of our mandates.
Conclusion
Despite having many short-comings, UN has
played a crucial role making this human society
more civil, more peaceful & secure in
comparison to time of its origin at 2nd World
War.

Thus being the world’s largest democratic body

of all nations, its responsibility towards
humanity is very high.
Q Though, the UN has completed its 75
year of establishment, the multilateral
institution is not short of failures.
