- Abstract:
- This article examines the concept of collective security, an idea that was developed by the United Nations in an effort to prevent international conflict. The concept of collective security is the idea that all countries are tied together and must work together to ensure the security of one another. It looks at the origin of the concept, the United Nations' role in developing it, and why it has never come into reality. Further, it examines the history of collective security, from its initial conception in the wake of World War II to its ultimate failure and legacy. It argues that collective security failed due to a lack of political will, an inability to effectively address the root causes of conflict, and a failure to adequately address the power dynamics between states. The article argues that effective collective security requires the establishment of strong and effective international institutions, the development of an international security system that is able to respond to threats in an effective and timely manner, and the commitment of all states to cooperate in order to prevent and resolve conflicts. Finally, it suggests that in order to make collective security a reality, governments must be willing to sacrifice some of their own interests in the name of peace and security and concludes that although collective security is an attractive idea, it is difficult to implement due to the current international political climate.
