Thc aim of ıhis study is to cxaminc whcthcr or not thc end of thc
Cold War has madc any significant diffcrcncc to UN decision-making. In thc
aftermath of thc Cold War, the qucstion of thc UN's placc in thc intcrnational
order vvas raiscd by many acadcmicians. Onc prevailing vicvv vvas that the
division of thc vvorld into East and Wcst during thc Cold War had prevented
the UN from fulfilling its mission. Hovvcver vvith the end of thc Cold War, it
vvas argucd, thc UN could fulfil thc aims that its founders had intended.
According to this vievv, thc UN finally had thc oportunity to perform its task
better. This prevailing vicvv in intcrnational relations vvill bc challengcd by
this study, and it vvill bc argucd that the UN's role has not ehanged as
dramalically since thc end of thc Cold War as thc proponents of this vievv
suggest.
