Summary/Abstract: Currently, we assist to a conditional reality imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, with both immediate and long-lasting repercussions on international system and on the behavior of each state. For this reason and because the new virus has a dynamic evolution in time and space, a research of the impact of the new virus is needed not only from a biogenetic perspective but also in the context of other fields, including the international relations realm.The events we are witnessing at present challenge to keep up with the transformations taking place on the international arena, especially those in the field of virology. As epidemics over time have shown, viruses change and what is sure is only the fact that they will always influence not only interpersonal relations but impose conditions for new realities in the system of international relations.This article aims at highlighting the main gaps in the work of the institution responsible for maintaining peace and security on the international arena, especially in the context of the COVID-19 crisis.
