💨 Abstract

The United Nations (UN) marks its 80th anniversary but faces significant challenges, including diminished global influence, funding cuts, and long-delayed reforms. The organization is struggling to address major conflicts, such as those in Ukraine and Gaza, while its most powerful body, the Security Council, remains gridlocked. Of the 193-member organization, the U.N. is considering a significant downsize due to anticipated U.S. budget cuts.
