According to UN experts, the existence of the United Nations (UN) led to “fewer inter-State wars in the last half of the twentieth century than in the first half”—at a time when the number of countries achieving nationhood multiplied. Without the UN, the world would be a far more dangerous and insecure place. We can enumerate its successes: reducing nuclear proliferation, responding to the planets’ major humanitarian crises, alleviating rural poverty, slowing the world’s unsustainable population growth, reducing illiteracy, and prosecuting war criminals. The record of positive change is impressive, even awe-inspiring.
