Introduction
The International community continues
to experience human suffering on a scale unparalleled in human history despite
all efforts made at international, regional and sub-regional levels. This stems
primarily from some complex and often prolonged conflicts which initiatives to
address the peace, security and stability challenges by the United Nations
(UN), the international community and a range of regional and sub-regional
organizations have failed to prove the efficacy of these organizations, which
nonetheless, continue the battle to find a lasting solution. The plight of
every society nowadays is to attain a reasonable level of economic growth,
better standard of living and peace at all cost. No society can achieve these
objectives without a reasonable level of peace and security. Peace and Security
are virtues that are desired by individuals, families, countries, continents
and the world as a whole. A peaceful and secured environment is a safe haven
for investors which will definitely trigger economic growth and development. No
investor will like to invest his hard earned savings in an unsecured
environment. That is why so many countries spend huge resources both financial
and human in order to ensure that there is peace and security so as to attract
investors.
The cost of maintaining peace and
security is far less expensive than halting war or breaches of peace. It is
estimated that the United Nations spent about 200 billion dollars on several
military interventions in 1990 in Bosnia Herzegovina, Somalia, Rwanda, Haiti,
Persia Gulf, Cambodia and El Salvador of which a preventive approach would have
cost her just the sum of 130 billion dollars.1
This is to reiterate the fact that
peace and security is gold. These virtues are neededat every level if mankind
must sit and ponder of the future. Governments have never stopped at any level
to put all their efforts together to ensure that there is peace and security in
their countries. That is why there is the police force, the soldiers and
private security providers trained in different specialties and fields; all
with the aim of providing peace at its highest level. Governments have not
stopped at anything to give their security agents proper training, to organize
refresher programs for them and to send them to foreign countries for better
security skills.
Despite the efforts made at the
national levels to maintain and promote peace and security, the international
community has not relented in its efforts to ensure that peace and security is
at its maximum level at every corners of this earth. That is why the creation
of the League of Nations2 (LON) was so important to foster world peace and
security. It failed in the mission for which it was created witnessed by two
world wars that led to untold human and material loss. The LON lost credibility
in the eyes of the international community.

The United Nations Organisation3
(UNO) was then created to replace the LON with the principal objectives being
to maintain international peace and security4. The United Nations(UN) through
the Security Council5 (SC) has been doing a lot in its bid to maintain and
promote peace and security worldwide. Regional organizations too, do help in
the maintenance of international peace and security.
