In this book, foreign ministers and generals, as well as ambassadors and scholars provide sober assessments of how the United Nations can meet the challenge of a balance between the desirable and the possible.
The United Nations opened up new horizons in 1945; but the steps taken since then have been small, hesitant and limited. The founding dream of a world community equal in rights and united in vision has never come close to being realised. 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 central 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 and generals, as well as ambassadors and scholars, provide sober assessments of how the United Nations can meet the challenge of a balance between the desirable and the possible.
