Description
The United Nations in Action provides a comprehensive overview of the UN's role in major international crises following World War II. This survey covers the UN's high-profile peace-keeping efforts, its support for newly independent nations, and its involvement in initiatives such as famine relief and drug control. The author offers an introduction to the workings of the UN in these key areas. By examining the UN's actions in these critical contexts, this book provides insight into the organisation's purpose and effectiveness.
