Abstract

The establishment of the United Nations in 1945 was a major step towards the promotion of international harmony and peaceful conflict resolution. The UN charter, the Geneva Convention and several conventions in this regard helped strengthen the legitimacy of international law and subsequent international mediation. International law, providing the rules of conduct for inter-state relations, is a viable tool for international mediation. However, due to the unequal distribution of power at the international level, there has always been a disregard towards international law by major powers and that has been a major challenge and its effective implementation. The real challenge lies in bringing a transformation in the international legal structure for effective conflict resolution. This paper will attempt to critically evaluate the structural drawbacks and lack of efficiency of the international institutions regarding peaceful conflict resolution and mediation while putting forth recommendations for the betterment of international mediation to promote international peace.
