Millions of pounds worth of property had been destroyed. Millions suffered from poverty, hunger and diseases. The conscience of men was roused. Man wanted peace. Therefore, the nations of the world came together in April 1945 and organized the UNO.
Q:2. How successful has the United Nations organization been so far in preventing local wars?
Ans)Preventing a war is difficult. It is a part of high politics. Feelings run high. Attempts to bring peace are open to misunderstanding. The path of the peacemaker is indeed hard. The UN has succeeded, in a few cases, in bringing peace where there was no peace before. However, in a great many cases, the results have not been satisfactory.
