United Nations, Divided World: The UN's Roles in International Relations - Tapa dura

An assessment of the United Nations which examines possibilities for change. Bringing together a collection of papers by academics and senior UN officials, this work examines the role of the United Nations since 1945 in international security, crisis diplomacy, human rights, economic development, and international law. It also discusses the problems the UN has faced and the limitations of its approach and suggests many reforms, not just in the structure and finances of the UN, but also in its rhetoric, its diplomatic activities and its role in international society.
