The Third Try: Can The UN Work? (2005) By Alison Broinowski & James Wilkinson
Arguing for the viability of the United Nations, this study calls for a renewed commitment to the idealistic goals upon which it was founded and condemns the world's most powerful countries for withholding needed resources. A summary of the UN's strengths provides details on more than 60 years of successful peacekeeping missions, world health initiatives, and aid to refugees. The ways the UN has fallen short--including failed efforts to protect human rights, reduce poverty, safeguard the environment, and prevent war--are also discussed, and ways to restructure are suggested.
