However, international system has been experiencing changes since the Second World War. Because, large number of small states have emerged in world politics. The small states have been playing significant role in regional as well international organizations. Although, major powers have been dominating the international organizations including UN but their numbers of representation and role cannot be ignored. They have entered various regional and international organizations and made alliances with other states to fulfil their goals in regional and international area. Therefore, the influence of small states have been increasing in number of crisis in international politics. Now, small states have more influence and role in international organizations than before the history. But, they are still facing the several challenges for their development and position in world politics. The main aim of this paper is to examine the position and role of small states and what are the challenges facing by small states in organizations?
