Abstract: The United Nations was established as an international specialized organization to promote global peace and security. According to the statute of this organization, achieving global peace will be achieved through means such as: resolving regional and global border disputes, improving relations between states, expanding respect for human rights, and eliminating discrimination and oppression. Practical results show that so far these goals have not been achieved satisfactorily at the international level. The main question of the research is; Why has the United Nations not been successful in establishing peace between Palestine and Israel after October 7, 2023? The research method in this article is through the method of document and library study, and after studying the statute and actual performance of the United Nations, the information has been analyzed through the inductive method. The results show that the policy-making method and shortcomings in the Charter of the United Nations and the Security Council have caused the proposed plans for promoting international peace to be of a recommendatory nature, and the lack of an executive guarantee is an obstacle to the full realization of the main goal of this organization. Also, the special privilege of the "veto" is an effective tool at the disposal of the permanent members of the Security Council and the unequal executive power of other members has caused the UN Security Council to limit itself to recommendations calling for peace and tranquility to the parties involved in the Israeli-Palestinian war, and the process of establishing peace in Gaza after October 7, 2023 will not be successful.
