There have been numerous attempts to engage the United Nations in a
meaningful campaign against state-supported and other terrorist
activities. But the inherently political nature of terrorism has
made it exceedingly difficult to gain global consensus on who even
qualifies as a terrorist, much less agreement on counterterrorism
measures to pursue. The rise of al Qaeda, the events of 9/11, the
Madrid train bombing, and the London mass transit bombings provided
the international community and United Nations with new impetus to
respond to terrorism. Although a series of international
conventions were adopted and a short-lived independent monitoring
group was established, the strategy that UN secretary general Kofi
Annan proposed to the General Assembly in May 2006 contains many
proposed measures and objectives that remain unfulfilled, thus
rendering the UN virtually impotent against terrorism. As one of
five Security Council–appointed international monitors on the
measures being taken against al Qaeda and the Taliban, Comras had
the rare opportunity to observe the UN’s counterterrorism
activities. He delves into the UN’s role in dealing with
terrorism, explores the international political realities and
institutional problems that make it difficult for the UN to
successfully implement and monitor counterterrorism measures, and
describes both the UN’s successes and failures, ultimately laying
out a case for creating a stronger, more effective UN response.
Flawed Diplomacy is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in
the war on terrorism and in gaining knowledge about the UN’s
inner workings.
