The Security Council, the all-powerful UN body for maintaining
world peace, remains mired in its World War II origins. The
victors, the US, Russia, China, Britain, and France, continue to
control it with their permanent membership and the veto. Their
confrontations emasculated the Council during the Cold War and
their cooperation spawned questionable military actions thereafter.
The book traces the origins of international security cooperation
and scrutinizes the moorings of the Security Council's powers in
international law. It critiques the permanent five's manipulation
of the Council to aggressively strengthen their global dominance
and legitimise their exercise of power. Their doctrines and actions
in countries like Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Libya have hindered the
Council's evolution as a responsible body which has the trust of a
globalising world. This book is an essential read for practitioners
and scholars to understand the Security Council and the failure to
reform it.
