United Nations Crit Con Pol Vol5 (Hardcover)

The United Nations is the second great experiment in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, which has attempted to prevent war and to further international cooperation in the political, economic, social and technical fields. This collection will explore the original conception of the United Nations, how it has evolved, how it now works and how effectively it has prevented and resolved disputes and contributed to international cooperation. These volumes will explore five of the six principal organs of the United Nations: the Security Council, the General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council, the Trusteeship Council, and the Secretariat. Some of the subsidiary bodies established by the General Assembly and the Security Council including human rights activities, refugees, international criminal tribunals and commissions established for the disarmament of Iraq will also be covered.
