    Global governance is multifaceted for several reasons: it comes from many sources including international scholars and treaties between states; it covers many intersecting areas such as security, human rights, and trade; and relies on international organizations to facilitate cooperation and decision making. International organizations can take on lives of their own by influencing states through establishing norms and standards. The United Nations faces challenges in maintaining global security due to the veto power of the permanent members of the Security Council which prevents resolutions, as well as limits to intervening in states due to respecting sovereignty.

    1.Why is global governance multi-faceted?

    Global governance is multifaceted because of the following reasons;


    first, it came from many sources. Many internationalist and scholars give
    their views and principles about global governance. Another is, states can
    sign treaties and form organization, in the process of legislating public
    international law. Second it covers various intersecting processes that
    create international order and encompasses several global areas of
    governance including security, justice, human rights, development, trade,
    and finance. Third, it refers to different international organizations that
    cover complex issues, and make international rules through which
    decision-making and co-operation at a global level is facilitated, operating
    through multilateral systems of regulation.

    2.How do international organizations take on "lives of their own"?

    International organizations take on lives of their own in a way that


    these IOs were able to influence different powers. As for example, the IMF
    was able to promote a particular form of economic orthodoxy that
    stemmed mainly from the beliefs of its professional economists. IOs can
    thus become influential as independent organizations. Barnett and
    Finnemore listed the following powers of IOs. First, the power of
    classification, because IOs can invent and apply categories, they can
    create powerful global standards. For example, it is the UN High
    Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) that defines what a refugee is, and
    since states are required to accept refuges entering their borders, this
    power to establish identity has concrete effects. Second, IOs have the
    power to fix meanings. The various terms like security are well-defined
    and they are view as legitimate sources of information. As such, the
    meanings they create have effects on various policies. Lastly, IOs have
    the power to diffuse norms. Norms which are the accepted code of
    conduct. For example, World Bank economists come to be experts in
    development and carry some form authority; they can therefore create
    norms regarding the implementation of development projects. As well as,
    other IOs can promote relevant norms like environmental protection and
    human rights. Hence, international organizations take on "lives of their
    own".

    3. What are the challenges faced by the United Nations in maintaining


    global security?

     As stated in Lesson 4, the biggest challenge of United Nations is


    related to issues of security. UN Security Council is tasked with
    authorizing international acts of military intervention. Because of P5’s
    veto power, it is tough for the council to release a formal resolution, much
    more implement it. For example, United States sought to intervene in the
    Kosovo War, but China and Russia however, threatened to veto any
    action, rendering the UN incapable of addressing the crisis. Another is,
    the civil war in Syria wherein Russia has threatened to veto any SC
    resolution against Syria, since President Bashar is an ally of Rusian
    dictator Vladimir Putin thus, the UN has done very little to stop state-
    sanctioned violence against opponents of the government. As a result, the
    UN is ineffectual amid conflict that has led to over thousands of deaths
    and millions displaced. Hence, through the P5’s veto power, UN cannot
    simply release and implement formal resolution to maintain global
    security. Another is, the limits placed upon it various organs and
    programs by the need to respect state sovereignty. If a state refuses to
    cooperate, the influenced of the UN is severely circumscribed, thus failing
    to achieve its goal of maintaining global security and order.
