Preserving world peace is a central purpose of the United Nations. Under the Charter, member states
agree to settle disputes by peaceful means and refrain from threatening or using force against other
states.
UN efforts have produced dramatic results. The UN helped defuse the Cuban missile crisis in
1962 and the Middle East crisis in 1973. In 1988 a UN-sponsored peace settlement ended the Iran-Iraq
war. In the 1990s, the UN was instrumental in restoring sovereignty to Kuwait and played a major role
in ending civil wars in Cambodia, El Salvador, Guatemala and Mozambique.
UN peacemaking brings hostile parties to agreement through diplomatic means. The Security
Council may to avoid conflict or restore or security peace – through negotiation, for example, or
undertake mediation, or recourse to the International Court of Justice. In the event of fighting the UN
tries to secure a ceasefire. It may send a peacekeeping mission to help the parties maintain the truce
and to keep opposing forces apart. Peacekeeping operations may last for few months or continue for
many years.
