Abstract

On 11th September 2001, a date that shall never be forgotten in world history, the impact of the US being attacked ricocheted across the world; It shook the world and the ripple effects of which are consequential even today. The attacks of 9/11 caused a paradigm shift in the world order and absolutely changed the perspective of viewing the global society. Today, 17 years later, the problems facing the world are grave and revolutionary, with one part of the world still reeling from the consequences of 9/11. This article aims to focus on two important aspects of the world as it is today, firstly recognising and analysing new challenges that the world is facing 2001 onwards, and second to gauge how equipped the international system is to deal with these challenges, with an important focus on the efficiency of the United Nations and the role it has to play. It shall also trace the effectiveness of the UN throughout these years in resolving major world crisis’. After 2001, the world underwent a complete change with regards to geopolitical landscape, as a result of problems such as global terrorism, increased bilateral conflicts, forced migration, economic instability, rise of threatening non-state actors and heightened use of the internet and social media. This article explains the functioning of the United Nations as a body and shall critically analyse the efficacy of the UN as an organisation and its preparedness to deal with these challenges posed to the world order today. The United Nations is more relevant now than ever, and the question that is being asked is how successful has, and will it be in upholding its goals of “Peacekeeping” and maintaining stability in the world today?
