Should A Permanent UN Military Force Be Established' Should a permanent UN Military Force be Established' Since the end of the Cold War, the United Nations has been a major help in keeping peace around the globe. The UN has striven to create forums as an alternative to war, it has made efforts to prevent the proliferation of weapons, and it has placed diplomatic and economic sanctions in peacekeeping efforts. The UN also has the authority to dispatch troops in peacekeeping efforts and mediation. Debate arises when the idea of a standing UN army is proposed. While the UN has been using military troops and police from countries all over the world for the past 50 years, it has never had a true standing army totally under control of the United Nations. Proponents of this idea claim that many wars and disasters could have been averted if the UN had a standing army that could be dispatched quickly. It could also potentially save everyone a lot of money. The opponents of this idea say that the army will have little use and will be too costly (148-149).
