Securing the World From War: Examining the UN Security Council

By Carolyn Gruske

There have been no outright wars between the world’s major powers and no nuclear conflicts since the end of the Second World War in 1945.

It’s that fact that causes some, including former Canadian ambassador to the United Nations, Paul Heinbecker, to say that the United Nations Security Council is an important body that has served its purpose and has done so successfully.

“That’s a very long time for there not to have been a war,” says Heinbecker who has also been a foreign policy advisor to Canadian prime ministers, including Brian Mulroney and Jean Chrétien. “That’s partly because the most powerful countries are on the Security Council and they’re in non-stop diplomacy in New York, day in and day out, 24/7. A lot of what they’re doing amounts to preventing conflict.”

That’s not to say that the Security Council is completely successful, or that there haven’t been wars or military engagements or that people and nations don’t see the need to reform it.
