Moreover, the lack of global representation in the institution has decreased its efficacy in resolving international conflicts. Identify the organisation.

Solution

The correct option is A United Nations Security Council
The above mentioned international organisation is the Security Council. It is also known as the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). It is disproportionately represented. Five major countries known as the P-5 are granted veto powers to cancel any resolution taken by the UNSC. The archaic structure of the UNSC has affected its ability to address major conflicts. This has led to increased calls for reforms to the present structure of all intergovernmental organizations to mitigate civil unrest.
