influence and use their veto power to protect their interests.

Funding: The presence of unstable sources of funding and sympathy in the contribution of funds to the UN budget can affect its work.

Inability to resolve conflicts: The UN is sometimes criticized for its inability to prevent and resolve some conflagrations and conflicts,
such as civil wars and genocides.

Adaptability: The UN must adapt to new challenges and issues such as climate change, cyber security and other modern threats.

states.
