NATO was expressly designed as a workaround of the newly-formed United Nations. The UN was supposed to help facilitate diplomacy, prevent conflicts like the world wars, but the UN gave communist and ‘third world’ countries the right to speak/vote. NATO didn’t have that ‘problem.’

1. this was effectively a union of colonial powers seeking to maintain their domination of the rest of the world; within NATO there would be no need to engage in debate or discussion with the communist countries or the decolonizing nations, which were increasingly emerging from liberation struggles against the very powers that formed NATO. Instead, this was a space where those voices could be ignored and the interests of the Western capitalist powers could be pursued unencumbered.
