Description
A democratic and equitable international order is possible. This book presents 25 principles of international order, defining key concepts such as domestic and international democracy, self-determination of peoples, and the human right to peace. The author proposes concrete reforms of the UN system, including changes to the Security Council and the functions of the Secretary General. He also advocates for reversing the adverse impacts of World Bank and International Monetary Fund policies, slashing military expenditures, and promoting free-trade agreements that align with human rights. By compiling 14 reports, info notes, and comments from his mandate as Independent Expert on the Promotion of a Democratic and Equitable International Order, Dr. Alfred de Zayas offers a comprehensive vision for a more just world order.
