Liberating The United Nations
Realism with Hope
Book •
Liberating The United Nations: Realism with Hope is a thorough review of the UN's founding and history that tracks critical junctures obscuring a powerful and just UN. Based on the expertise of two former UN insiders, Richard Falk and Hans von Sponeck, the book goes beyond critique, proposing ways to achieve a more effective UN. The book offers a broad perspective on the UN's evolution from its establishment, reflecting world politics.
It explores these themes through interventions in Palestine, Iraq, and Syria.
Liberating The United Nations hopes to reinvigorate the original vision of the UN by asserting its place in a world of amplifying chauvinistic nationalism.
