Kenneth Waltz was the first to use the term neo-realist, which is a system of realism that asserts that states battle for power with each other in an anarchical system, and that drives their motives. Neo-realists could be interpreted as being critical of the United Nations, because of the anarchical system it implements. The United Nations has a duty to keep the peace and ensure there are basic democratic freedoms in the states that protect their innocent people. In an anarchical system between states, the UN is simply not doing its job, and when states do not follow the rules of the UN, then perhaps it is failing in its duty to keep the peace. The UN was established to ensure there would be peace and human rights, not to repeat the atrocities of WWII.
