A collection of assessments of how the UN has performed in the past and how it can meet the challenge of a balance between the desirable and the possible. The commentators are drawn from a mix of ministerial, military, diplomatic and academic backgrounds.
The end of the Cold War and the forceful response to Iraq's aggression created expectations that the UN would change from a marginal into a centre player in world affairs. These hopes were seemingly dashed in Somalia, Rwanda and Bosnia. Has the United Nations abdicated its moral duty as the custodian of our hopes for a better world? In this book, foreign ministers, generals, ambassadors, and scholars provide sober assessments of how the United Nations can meet the challenge of a balance between the desirable and the possible.
