N1  - Includes CD; ABSTRACT The Arab Spring, at first seemed to be a beacon of hope for the Middle East, has become Syria‟s worst nightmare. The Syrian civil war, triggered by the uprising following the Arab Spring, is on for the past nine years, and in spite of significant international endeavors, there continues to be no obvious resolution on the horizon. The aim of this study is to evaluate the United Nations conflict management strategies in Syria. This study applies a qualitative case-study approach to obtain more in depth information of the organization‟s efforts to resolve this conflict. This study reveals that the international key players (Turkey Russia, Iran, U.S, Saudi Arabia) continues to play significant roles either supporting the regime or on the side of the opposition groups. Therefore, it could be seen that United Nations efforts to manage the Syrian conflict under three different leadership of United Nations "Staffan de Mistura, Lakhdar Brahimi and Kofi Annan" were unable to bring the Syrian conflict to an end. Under these leadership, various plans were drawn, initiative were put in place which often look promising at first instance, but the truth is, these approaches have made little to none significant impacts to bring a lasting solution to this prolonged violence. Keywords: United Nations, Syrian Crisis, the Arab Spring, Turkey, Russia, Saudi Arabia; Includes references (55-65 p.)
