WATCH: Anjali K. Dayal and Natalie Samarasinghe debate whether the UN can prevent wars

Since its inception in 1945, the United Nations has committed to preventing war across the globe. However, recent and devastating conflicts, like the war in Gaza, Ukraine and elsewhere, have brought the UN’s peacekeeping shortcomings into high relief. Is the United Nations capable of preventing war and keeping the peace, or is the institution too antiquated to resolve modern conflicts?

On the Doha Debates Podcast, Natalie Samarasinghe and Anjali K. Dayal debate the best paths toward peace, the rising role of youth on the global stage and how we should hold the UN to account.

Doha Debates Podcast is a production of Doha Debates and FP Studios. This episode is hosted by Joshua Johnson.
