Synopsis Certain people have come to regard international politics as a science. They hold that formulae and principles of universal applicability have been developed in international politics. These principles or generalisations apply fully well under the given set of conditions and circumstances. They hold that the realization on the part of international actors about the uselessness of war is a generalization of universal applicability. It is why efforts are being made to discard war as an instrument of national policy. The First World War teachers that the defeated nations always aim at regaining their lost prestige. This results in another military conflict. This leads to vicious circle of hatred and domination which never ends. War in this way is no solution to any problem. This is why efforts at disarmament are continually at work in order to avoid the possibility of conflict. The forum of the United Nations is being fully utilised for resolving conflicts in a peaceful manner. There is no denying the fact that United Nations in spite of its various shortcomings, has averted Third World War for the time being.
