FN - i mäktiga staters tjänst En studie av hur FN påverkas av mäktiga stater


The United Nations is an important organization when it comes to international peace and security. Recent events in international politics, however, have brought about a widespread concern about the abilities of the organization. Powerful states have shosen to act outside of the organization to achieve their goals. They have furthermore a disproportionate influence on the decision-making body, the Security Council.The aim of this essay is to examine wheather UN can function productively as keeper of the international peace and security in the political climate of today, and to find out to what extent the powerful states harm the organization. I use a theoretical article, concerning states relations to international organisations, to analyse the acts of powerful states in UN. The article focuses on two characteristics that international organisations hold; centralization and independence. This is a descriptive and qualitative casestudy, mainly based on secondary sources.I focus on the Security Council, and an eventual reform in this body. I use the USA-lead intervention in Iraq to illustrate powerful state actions in relation to the UN. Powerful states prevent a Secutity Council reform, and their use of the UN in their unilateral actions causes the independence of the organisation to decrease.
