Description

Ending humanitarian atrocities has become as important for the United Nations as preventing interstate war.

This book examines the transformation of UN operations, analysing its changing role and structure.

Ramesh Thakur asks why, when and how force may be used, and argues that the growing gulf between legality and legitimacy is evidence of an eroded sense of international community.

He considers the tension between the United States, with its capacity to use force and project power, and the United Nations, as the centre of the international law enforcement system.

He asserts the central importance of the rule of law and a rules-based order focused on the United Nations as the foundation of a civilised system of international relations.

This book will be of interest to students of the United Nations and international organisations in politics, law and international relations departments, as well as policymakers in governmental and non-governmental international organisations.
