This study focuses on the record of UN involvement in international crises during the 1945–1975 period. It is guided by two general research questions: (1) what is the relationship between the attributes of international crises and the extent, substance, substance, and effectiveness of UN activity; and (2) under what conditions is UN intervention in international crises likely to lead to favorable outcomes. Data on 160 crises are drawn from the International Crisis Behavior Project data set. In general, we find that while the UN intervened in only 59% of all crises, its rate of intervention in serious crises (crises with violent triggers, grave threat, violent crisis management techniques, and large numbers of participants) was considerably higher. The UN was most effective in crisis abatement in crises involving full scale war. Crises with UN intervention were more likely than others to terminate in some form of agreement among the parties
