*How has the United Nations changed international relations?

The UN has had so many positive impacts on the world that naming a few would be almost silly but here goes:

1. Established a peace treaty in Yugoslavia. If the UN didn't exist the genocide would have continued.

2. Has a security council that is made up of almost every type of political standing in which all have to agree if war is allowed to

happen and is just.

3. Established neutral zones in many Middle Eastern conflicts to make both sides take a breather and try to talk.

4. It allows for open communication between all the nations in the world.

5. Send food aid to many poor locations.
