The world is at a point where people need to ask themselves whether they feel safe, and if they do, why do they feel safe? The answers will vary, but the answer will most likely be the United States, not the United Nations. The Security Council was created to maintain world peace, and in theory, its concept was a great idea. The world needs protection from the horrors of genocide, the death of terrorists and government corruption which can create many problems. However, in recent years the United States has led the war on terrorism, while the United Nations Security Council has remained deadlocked on the issue. A change is needed in the United Nations Security Council so that it returns to the relevance it has always had and overcomes the issue of personal problems. When one of the P-5 or permanent members does not attempt to control the situation, the council can normally agree to pass ceasefire directives (UN Department of Public Information, 2004). There are three other pre-emptive ways that the UN Security Council will attempt to prevent a hostile conflict: pre-emptive disarmament, pre-emptive deployment and pre-emptive diplomacy. Preventive disarmament occurs when the United Nations enters a country and reduces the number of weapons the nation has. The United Nations Department of Public Information (2004) continued to justify preventive disarmament by stating, “Destroying yesterday's weapons prevents their use in tomorrow's wars” (pp. 71). Preemptive deployment is when a peacekeeping force is sent in simply to keep each side away from each other, a form of time out. The best example of pre-emptive deployment is cited in a Department of Defense article by Segal and Eyre (199...... half of document ......dis Refuse UN Security Council Seat.
