Today, the United Nations is grappling with defining its role in global security, especially as we enter an era of widespread terrorism. Several nations, dismissive of the UN’s role as world peacekeeper, undertook to solve regional disputes on their own, although still seeking the sanction of UN ratifying resolutions. But in the early 1990’s, UN missions to restore peace in Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia failed to accomplish their goals, leading many to question whether the UN should take any role in global security. The UN, freed from the shackles of a superpower Security Council veto, sought to contain these eruptions of discord. Especially in these failed states, but elsewhere as well, racial, ethnic and religious animosities that had been subsumed by the Cold War, began to erupt. Moreover, a new phenomenon threatened regional peace and security – failed states – in which no one wielded the power to maintain order. National actors and sub-national groups no longer feared that one or the other superpower would, in order to maintain the superpower peace, prevent them from acting with force to achieve their goals. The end of the Cold War removed many of the barriers to minor conflict. The UN entered “peacekeeping” tentatively acting always with the consent of disputing parties, maintaining neutrality between the parties, and using minimal force to defend its personnel and property, and then only when attacked. Nevertheless, the United Nations achieved notable success in a number of minor crises that could have spun out of control. The two superpower protagonists – the United States and the Soviet Union - suspicious of any move by the other, prevented united efforts to solve most world crises. That United Nations organization was given the force of arms to use if need be to put down aggression and it was contemplated that the combined forces of the five great powers would act in concert, under their combined Chiefs of Staff, to react with massive power of modern armies to overwhelm an aggressor and to restore peace. At the end of the Second World War, the victorious allied powers believed that they could build on the failed League of Nations experiment that followed the First World War, and create an organization that united the nations of the world under their leadership to preserve peace. Continue building your route until you run out of cards from your stock.The challenges of preserving global peace and security have never been easy.To achieve space-efficiency, the cards should be identical value or identical suit. Because everybody looks the same in space, you can treat court cards (J, Q, K) as the same value for the purpose of folding.However, you can only fold space between the top card of your route and cards behind them. You don’t have to fold space just because you can. If these cards also happen to match colour, you can also fold the matching cards away because of space-efficiency. Folding: if you add a card to your route that matches a value with a card behind (two 3s, two Js, &c.), you may fold space between them – remove all cards between these two & add them to the folds pile.Continue doing this until you are able to make a fold.
