Archer has made serious theoretical and practical contributions to the understanding of the evolving scholarly and policy discourse on international organisations.Aim: This article critically analyse a selection of major and common difficulties faced by international organisations.Setting: Based on historical sensibility, this article heavily employs the United Nations as a test case to gain a crispy understanding of the difficulties faced by international organisations.Methods: This article was based on the study of secondary sources and critical discourse analysis. Data drawn from the emerging discourse were analysed thematically.Results: It has been established that the multifaceted nature of the difficulties faced by international organisations can best be understood when located within a historical context.Conclusion: There is no gainsaying that inasmuch as Archer’s study is not extensively cited by scholars, it remains a principal reference source for practitioners of the United Nations and other international organisations.
