The United Nations (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780737736960)

The UN is vast, diverse organization that seeks to prevent not just armed conflicts, but famine, poverty, violence against women and marginalized communities, and environmental degradation. Readers will learn about the complicated relationships that governments have with the UN, and why some, such as the United States, sometimes defy the UN to achieve their goals. This anthology of collected viewpoints helps to paint a complete picture of this complex organization and the nuances of its functioning in our modern world.
