flag The UN's 80th anniversary highlights its struggle to enforce peace due to veto power blocking action in Gaza, Ukraine, and Venezuela.

flag The UN, marking its 80th anniversary in 2025, faces increasing criticism for its inability to enforce international peace, as the Security Council remains paralyzed by vetoes from its five permanent members—China, France, Russia, the UK, and the US. flag This unchecked veto power has blocked action in crises including Gaza, Ukraine, and Venezuela, undermining the UN’s credibility. flag Though the Security Council is gridlocked, other UN bodies continue delivering humanitarian aid, supporting peacekeeping, and advancing global development. flag Despite structural flaws, the UN remains essential for coordinating international responses to global challenges, with no viable alternative available.
