The United Nations was created due to the failure of the League of Nations. The United Nations was officially the new "international order" The United Nations was confirmed in 1945 after many different discussions. Continuing on from the League of Nations the basic idea of this system was collective security. To make it more effective than the League of Nations ever was, the United Nations gave most of the authority to the major 5 states. These 5 states were given the power to veto. The United Nations thought during the Cold War collective security would become harmful.
