The United Nations and Collective Security in the 21st Century.

Abstract

The author of this report examines the contributions that the United Nations might make to international security and stability in the years ahead. He highlights the shortcomings of the U.N., as well as its potential in areas ranging from preventive diplomacy and confidence-building measures to the creation of international military forces. The author concludes that opportunities exist for enhancing the U.N.'s abilities in preventive diplomacy; there is little chance for the successful creation of international forces; yet much can be done to improve prospects for future multinational military operations in between.
