The issue of maintaining peace and security is not a new one and in the past various factors and aggressive elements have served to disturb the peace of the world.

The ‘Concert system’ was formed in order to build up novel ‘machinery’ for maintaining peace and harmony….In the 20th century, however, the League of Nations was formed to maintain peace and security but the precipitation of the Second World War caused its demise.
