Nukes are more effective at preventing wars of aggression than the U.N. To get rid of nukes, that needs to change. The problem is nukes are a consolidation of power, whereas making the U.N. more effective involves a delegation of power. The five nuclear powers, simply aren't ready.
Wars of aggression, i.e. war of conquest intended to change borders and subjugate a population, was considered by Nuremberg trials to be the supreme international crime. That's what happened in 2014 when Putin rolled tanks into Ukraine.
A cynical, but not incorrect, person might suggest: Given that the things we've invented to prevent wars of aggression have all failed, we have to consider the defect. Is it the institutions? Or is it mankind? Are we doomed to actually go through with a third world war no matter what?
