The United Nations Needs to Learn More Besides Its Successful Learning from the League of Nations
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Both the United Nations [hereinafter UN] and the League of Nations [hereinafter League] are important global institutions for human history. Previous research has shown that the UN has learned many lessons from the League. Meanwhile, the UN could be seen as a step further than the League. It realized many weaknesses of “the League’s failure to provide a mechanism for the enforcement of international collective security” back in the 1920 s and it learned many crucial lessons from the League. Yet, those lessons have not been sufficient to address all problems that the UN is facing today. To address this problem, this paper is intended to introduce the UN and the League briefly, what are they and what they do. And then discuss in-depth the question, of what did the UN learn from the League. Lastly, the third part will be expanded around the idea of the problems that appear today that the UN needs to deal with urgently. Because although the UN had learned plenty of lessons from the League, it has been seen that there are a lot of problems within the UN today.
