What exactly is peacekeeping? How does the United Nations respond to armed aggression? How is it equipped to deal with human rights abuses? How do the Security Council and General Assembly make decisions? Is the UN merely a talking shop with no real power, or an organisation that serves the interests of only a few powers? These and many other questions are addressed frankly in this new updated edition of a beginner's guide to the UN. Chapters deal with purposes and structure, the system of groups and blocs, the UN's role in maintaining world peace, disarmament and human rights. Five contemporary criticisms of the UN are examined, and the authors conclude that in spite of the UN's faults, the world needs the UN. The question is not whether the UN has a future, but rather how best it can be strengthened and made more effective.
