Revitalizing the United Nations: Anticipation and prevention as primary goals

Abstract

Given the profound global changes during 1989–92 and the fact that the international system is increasingly becoming transnational, it is imperative for the UN, an intergovernmental organization, to accord adequate attention to the structure of the UN and the wide‐ranging problems facing it. This would be needed to help it appropriately face the current challenges. This article critically looks into the UN's constraints and radically suggests a course of action so as to make the organization credible and efficient.
