The end of the Cold War and the response to Iraq's aggression created expectations that the United Nations would change from a marginal to 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? This book assesses how the UN may meet the challenges of a balance between the desirable and the possible.
