| Anteprima |
This
Handbook provides in one volume an authoritative and independent
treatment of the UN's seventy-year history, written by an international
cast of more than 50 distinguished scholars, analysts, and
practitioners. It provides a clear and penetrating examination of the
UN's development since 1945 and the challenges and opportunities now
facing the organization. It assesses the implications for the UN of
rapid changes in the world - from technological innovation to shifting
foreign policy priorities - and the UN's future place in a changing
multilateral landscape. Citations and additional readings contain a
wealth of primary and secondary references to the history, politics, and
law of the world organization. This key reference also contains
appendices of the UN Charter, the Statute of the International Court of
Justice, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
