UN (United Nations)
The United Nations is an international organization established in 1945 with 193 member countries, providing a forum for international cooperation on peace, security, development, and humanitarian issues. The UN has limited power - decisions require Security Council consensus (where five permanent members have vetoes).
Real World
Russia vetoed UN Security Council resolutions condemning its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, preventing any binding international response and illustrating how the veto structurally limits the UN's ability to act against permanent members.
Exam Focus
Use the Security Council veto as a specific mechanism to explain UN limitations — vague statements about 'lack of power' will not score well.
