The correct answer is: B
Explanation
Since its inception in 1945, the United Nations (UN) has faced challenges due to the vast political, economic and cultural differences among its member states. This diversity creates obstacles in:
- Decision-making – Member states often have conflicting national interests, making it difficult to reach a consensus on global issues.
- Peacekeeping efforts – Different political ideologies and regional conflicts hinder collective action.
- Economic disparities – Developing nations struggle to have equal influence in global affairs.
- Veto power of permanent Security Council members – The interests of powerful nations (e.g., the U.S., China, Russia) often override global concerns.
