To what extent does the United Nations system work? This
comprehensive survey of the world's most important family of
international organizations examines the UN's structure and powers,
and considers whether it is achieving what it set out to do.
Focusing on legal rather than political issues, White first
examines the UN's objectives, not only as defined in the original
charter and the constituent documents of its various agencies, but
also in terms of how its goals and values have been implemented. He
then explores its institutional structure, explaining each body's
powers and the relationships among them; here, he also evaluates
the various bodies in terms of democratic accountability and
transparency. In the core of the book, a wide-ranging review of UN
activities, he assesses whether the organization has sufficient
powers to implement its goals in the key areas of security,
justice, human rights, the environment and economic development.
