Description
The United Nations: A Very Short Introduction The United Nations has been a cornerstone of international relations for over seven decades, yet its future remains uncertain. In this updated edition, Jussi Hanhimäki explores the UN's successes and failures as a guardian of international peace and security, a promoter of human rights, and a protector of international law. Hanhimäki examines the UN's most recent successes and failures, including its involvement in crises in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine, Libya, and Syria. He also provides a clear account of the UN's various arms and organizations, such as UNESCO and UNICEF, and offers a critical overview of the UN Security Council's role in these crises. This book provides a nuanced understanding of the UN's complexities and challenges, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to comprehend the organization's role in shaping international relations.
