This study concluded that the United Nations is at risk of ending its work, like its predecessor, the league of nations, as a result of the inability of the Security Council due to the policies of its permanent members double standards in managing crises of armed wars and preventing their outbreak, and therefore the inability to provide security protection to the community and the groups addressed to it, which is largely manifested since the outbreak of the conflict historically until the ongoing war, and its inability to impose a truce.
