Collective security is achieved when states come to an agreement on the need for same. As a result an international organization is formed under the rules of international law.

Ana Cutter Patel writes that DDR is an integral part of peace building; it tries to disarm, demobilize and reintegrate former combatants in order to establish security which is one of the key components of peace. According to Sandra Pogodda et al. DDR is also part of a state building practice, for demobilization and disarmament of ex-combatants ensures the state's monopoly on the use of force.

established as a means of preserving global peace after the Second World War. Launching with 51 member states the organizations began on a healthy platform with the United States having an active role in its promotion of international co-operation. However, during the cold war the organization began to experience a plethora of new challenges which primarily involved armed conflicts throughout the world.

It is the time to achieve the probability of peace and chances of war should be minimized.

“liberal peace” is used to picture the comprehensive set of policies characterizing the peacebuilding and state-building practices “[…] based on a perception of peace in which good governance, the promotion of human rights, the encouragement of civil society and a free market economy, and the advancement of the rule of law, and a viable and functioning state are crucial” (van Leeuwen et al., 2012: 298).

Woodrow Wilson’s Hope for International Peace “There must be, not a balance of power, but a community of power; not organized rivalries, but an organized peace.” (Cooper 366). These words of wisdom from the twenty-eighth president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, truly expressed his ultimate goal of world peace and international collaboration. This honorable American leader used his powerful influence as president to encourage cooperative world associations and negotiations in order to maintain
