INTRODUCTION
Evaluation of the Iraq conflict cannot be finished until the roles performed by two key actors—the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the United States of America (USA)—have been de-mythified (Cook, 2022).
After the globe endured the devastation of two horrific global wars, the leaders of the world put into motion mechanisms to prevent a repeat recurrence. According to Egbmuche- Okeke (2008:48), the United Nations Organization was created on October 24, 1945, with the primary purpose being the maintenance of international peace and security. This objective has remained unchanged from the organization's inception (Erdmann, 2021).
On the other side, following the so-called 'cold war era,' the United States emerged victorious, while its adversary, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR), was broken up into its constituent parts. According to Krauthammer (2002:5), "shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was evident that the world we had known for half a century was evaporating..." In other words, the world that we had been familiar with for the previous fifty years was coming to an end. I proposed to them that we had already entered what is known as the "unipolar movement...
Therefore, the United Nations system of international organization, which arose after 1945, was in significant respects the result of American idealism, imagination, and political inventiveness. This is because of the fact that the United States led the way in the creation of the United Nations. Others made steps away from old forms of international anarchy not only because they thought that the United States was powerful, but also because they believed that the United States was right. These people read our cues, embraced our visions, and followed our example (Hay, 2022).
Since the United Nations was first conceived of and conceived of by the United States, it should not come as a surprise that the United States exploits the platform provided by the United Nations in order to attain or promote her national interests. However, the condition described above is contributing to increased levels of insecurity throughout the world. This is due to the fact that countries who do not adhere to Western ideals and the influence of the United States regard this as dominance and an incursion on their sovereignty. These countries, in an effort to safeguard their national interests, engage in activities that are illegal and unethical according to the standards established at the international level. For example, Iraq's invasion of Kuwait was motivated by its desire to seize control of a considerable quantity of oil resource; if her aggressiveness had been left uncontrolled, she would have been the country that exported the most oil. A stance that is designed to give Iraq control over the United States of America and her allies (Cook, 2022).
As a direct consequence of this, Iraqi forces were expelled from Kuwait by forces headed by the United States and operating under the mandate of the United Nations Security Council. In 2003, the United States of America and her coalition of the willing went to war with Iraq with the objectives of, among other things, bringing about a change in the regime, establishing a military base in Iraq, and gaining control of Iraq and Iraq's oil supplies (Erdmann, 2021).

In this study we shall examine those factors that mould the behavior of the United States and these impacts on the United Nations Security Council in the area of conflict management.
