Abstract

With the League of Nations’ inability to maintain international peace and security the Allied Powers of World War II began to work on the creation of an international organization that would be more efficient and powerful in matters of international peace and security. The result was the establishment of United Nations (UN) in 1945. Although the system envisaged in the UN Charter for the maintenance of international peace and security resembled that of the League of Nations it differed on a crucial point. The responsibility for maintaining international peace and security was given to a smaller body, the Security Council (SC). However the inability of the members of the SC (United States, Britain, France, the Soviet Union and China) to maintain their cooperation after the war led to a deadlock in the SC. The improvised response to the deadlock was the establishment of "Peacekeeping Operations (PKO)." This system became the most effective tool of the UN in dealing with matters concerning international peace and security. Thus, the purpose of this article is to discuss how the notion of Peacekeeping developed, general characteristics and whether it proved to be a success or failure during the Cold War.
