Big powers have repeatedly used the UN as the alleged voice of the so-called "international community" when formulating and implementing hegemonic global policies (including war and invasion) just to serve the interests of their own dominant classes. In recent years, various events around the world have shed light on the most powerful components of the United Nations --the Security Council, and the two affiliated agencies --International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. The United Nations Security Council, which has remained totalitarian since its inception and its undemocratic veto system has served the interests of hegemonic powers, thereby causing severe global crises. This paper examines the link between global hegemonic policies and the United Nations Security Council, the IMF, and the World Bank.
