The Cold War prevented the UN from realizing its collective security system. UN Secretary-General Dag Hammerskjold replaced it with peacekeeping operations which in principle seek to freeze but not resolve conflicts. The end of the Cold War enabled the Security Council to carry out its responsibility for maintaining international peace and security. It has sought to resolve conflicts and build peace, thereby engaging in so-called second generation peacekeeping operations. The Council has sometimes resorted to enforcement actions under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, in order to force the parties of a conflict to accept and abide by peace-making arrangements, thereby engaging in third generation peacekeeping operations. The later two kinds of operations have become the prevailing mode of the UN for maintaining international peace and security.
