THE NEW COLD WAR AND THE THREATING OF INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY
Main Article Content
Abstract
The international arena has been marred by numerous crises that have resulted in a failure to achieve international peace and security, raising doubts about the ability of the Security Council to effectively address and confront these issues. Crises in Libya, Syria, and Ukraine have heightened concerns and fears among major powers, leading to a complication of the decision-making process within the Security Council.
This research highlights the Security Council's weak handling of the issues at hand, making the divisions among international powers a prominent characteristic. This has impacted the Council's effectiveness, resulting in a state of international polarization. It has also sparked an international debate about a "new Cold War" on the horizon, where increased competition among major powers has rendered international law ineffective and undermined the liberal approach in international relations. The liberal approach asserts that international institutions play a pivotal role in avoiding wars and promoting international stability
