Abstract:

The United Nations is one of the most important international organizations, have being established for peace and security. Besides the Security Council, there are lots of organizations under the UN umbrella. This study focuses on activities and performance of the UN during the period from 28 February 2014 (date of submission of Ukraine UN representative’s letter to the UN Security Council) to February 2017. While preparing this study, only primary resources, especially UN Security Council resolutions, resolution drafts, meeting records, press statements, assessment reports are reviewed. This tension generates an additional example which clearly displays inefficiency of the UN Security Council mechanism. Other councils began their activities after failures of the UN Security Council and General Assembly. Despite the fact that this issue was put on its agenda before escalation of the conflict, it cannot be successful at keeping peace in Ukraine.
