The United Nations Secretariat and the Use of Force in a Unipolar World: Power v. Principle (Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures)

The United Nations Secretariat and the Use of Force in a Unipolar World: Power v. Principle (Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures)





The end of the Cold War appeared to revitalise the Security Council and offered the prospect of restoring the United Nations to its central role in the maintenance of international peace and security. Between the Gulf War of 1990 and the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the UN Secretariat found itself in the midst of an unprecedented period of activity involving authorised and unauthorised actions leading to the use of force. Ralph Zacklin examines the tensions that developed between the Secretariat and member states, particularly the five permanent members of the Security Council, concerning the process and content of the Council's actions in the Gulf War, Bosnia, Kosovo and the Iraq War as the Secretariat strove to give effect to the fundamental principles of the Charter.

The Roots of United States Foreign Policy Toward Apartheid South Africa, 1969-1985 (Distinguished Dissertations)





Examining the relationship between owners of the United States multinational corporations of South Africa and the United States government, this study covers the period 1969-1985. The aims of the text are threefold: to demonstrate how the United States foreign policy from Nixon to Reagan changed in basic strategy without a fundamental change in its mission, in terms of its support of the apartheid regime; to throw more light on the US government's economic, political and military-strategic interest in South Africa and its symbiotic relations with the apartheid regime; and lastly to contribute to the existing knowledge of the US involvement in class interest of American foreign policy during the administrations of Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan.
