Abstract:
This research critically examines the legal justification for the existence of the United Nations
(UN) in protecting global interests. Established in 1945, the UN aims to uphold international peace,
security, and cooperation. The study evaluates the effectiveness of its legal framework, including
the Charter and resolutions, and the performance of key organs like the Security Council and
International Court of Justice. While highlighting achievements in peacekeeping, human rights,
and multilateral treaties, it also critiques the UN's inefficiencies, selective interventions, and lack
of accountability. The study explores whether the UN remains relevant or requires reform to
address evolving global challenges effectively.
