The political motive of United Nations is known to be stronger than the legal one, and it might, consequently, be unreasonable to foretell the future of the United Nations soley by looking at its legal side of the aspects.
But, if I dare to draw a conclusion, the United Nations as an organization of peace-enforcement seems to have failed in establishing a complete and perfect system within itself; because, the Security Council is almost paralysed in the successful discharge of its primary responsiblity due to the evil existence of "droit de veto" provision. Besides, the lack of "accord spe´cial" have induced the Security Council to a nealy crippled body of a car without wheels, If there be any slight development found in the United Nations system of peace-enforcement, it is that the function and authority of the General Assembly is made a little more powerful than before. It is true that the impact of this fact cannot be undere stimated, and that the General Assembly has gained an incressed function and power, but we can not optimistically conclude that the United Nations itself has gained, as has been already investigated.
Then, how can we achieve the world peace under the present system of the United Nations? I think we can solve the problem, if not perfectly, by allowing the General Assembly the possible maximum discretion in reaching decision needed to carry out the its secondary responsibility, in the case the Council fails to discharge the primary one entrusted. Of course, it is also true that the General Assembly does not have legal powers enough to mobilize those necessary measures to prevnt and supporess any illegal appeal to force. Yet, the General Assembly can effectively perform its duties only through the formation of a world-wide public opinion even the Great Powers can not easily ignore. And we can also expect the General Assembly will be able to play its best role in exerting all knids of political and economic pressures designed to prevent and sanction any illegal exercise of force.
The way to peace is difficult, but our goal is not too far away. Rather, it is directly connected with the deep core of human mind itself. Just as the Preamble of UNESCO Charter declares manifestly, it is the human mind that war starts. If we sincerely hope to maintain peace in this world of ours, we should, first of all, begin to construct bulwark in our mind for ever-peaceful society.
