International law, international systems as well as principles currently exist to aim to resolve disputes, however the compliance predominantly relies on the discretion of state sovereignty and jus cogens, which both act as barriers in achieving world order. Difficulties faced in attempting to achieve world order in relation to the United Nations involves its inflexible structure, poor leadership and the use of ‘veto powers’ granted to the Permanent Five members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). Post World War II, representatives conducted a meeting and agreed upon a conclusion that the world would never experience such widespread atrocities and damage. Following this meeting, the leaders emerged with the structure of a new international organisation called the United Nations (UN). The UN comprises six major organs, one of which includes the UNSC, containing 15 member states with only five permanent members.

Both of these essays show the history behind the war and the reasons of why it took place and why it should not have transpired.

The Republican Party, for example, would have liked to see a higher unemployment rate towards the end of 2012 in hopes of decreasing the chances of the President’s re-election.

Johnson who supported the war and others, such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who opposed it. America involving itself in the war was the right choice.
