Description: Liberating the United Nations by Richard A. Falk, Hans von Sponeck Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The United Nations (U.N.) has always loomed large in international conflicts, but today accepted wisdom declares that the organization has lost its way. Liberating The United Nations is a thorough review of its founding and history that tracks critical junctures that obscured or diverted the path to a powerful and just U.N. that abides by international law. Based on the extensive expertise of two former U.N.-insiders, Richard Falk and Hans von Sponeck, the book goes beyond critique and diagnosis, proposing ways to achieve a more effective and legitimate U.N.. The historical sweep of the book offers a uniquely broad perspective on how the U.N. has evolved from the time of its establishment, and how that evolution reflects, and was defined by, world politics. The book explores these themes through the specific cases of intervention in Palestine, Iraq, and Syria. Liberating The United Nations hopes to reinvigorate the original vision of the U.N. by asserting its place in a world of amplifying chauvinistic nationalism. Falk and von Sponeck argue for how important the U.N. has become, and could be, in aiding with the transnational and global challenges of the present and future, including pandemics, environmental crises, and mass migration.
