International Organizations

International organizations have existed to address certain issues that involve two or more countries, to provide help for members of the international organization, to create order among members of the international organization and etc(Spiegel et al.,2004). Many international organizations have been established and have fallen through the course of history, and one international organization that have fallen is the League of Nations. The League of Nations was established after the first World War in order to prevent war among nations from recurring , but failed as the league was rendered powerless in preventing the Second World War from occurring(www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk,n.d.). The League of Nations also failed because the United States did not ratify the treaty thus weakening its credibility and power to stop Japan, Italy, and Germany from conquering foreign land( League of Nations, n.d.). I believe that the failure of the League of Nations can be related to the members of the organization's conflicting interests and the lack of arbitration in the issues that the organization should be addressing. The failure of the League of Nations led to the establishment of the United Nations after the Second World War. The United Nations is still existing and has had its greatest success during the Gulf war wherein the planned invasion of Kuwait by Iraq was stopped by the organization. The United Nations had also failed during the United States' invasion of Iraq, but the failure did not constitute to the collapse of the organization (Spiegel et al., 2004). The United Nations remains to be a respected organization and continues be an organization that maintains order among its members.
