The article evaluates the effectiveness of the United National Organizations (UNO). The article overviews the argument put forth both by the liberalist tradition that posits UNO is an effective international organization and by the realist tradition that posits UNO to be an ineffective international organization. The article, therefore, argues for need of a new analytical framework to better understand and evaluate the success and/or failure of the UNO in the 21st century and beyond.
