Using authoritative extracts from the relevant and important
sources at the time, this volume, originally published in 1972,
deals with the problems and difficulties of maintaining peace in
the world. The control of the use of force remains the most
intractable, and yet the most important, problem in international
relations. Although the antagonists change, antagonism appears to
be almost an inherent feature of inter-state relations and although
global conflict has been avoided for the past quarter of a century,
the risk is always present. The cost of such anarchy in
international relations, measured in terms of human suffering and
wastage of resources, is appalling. In this book, Dr Bowett looks
at the need for peaceful settlement of international disputes, the
peacekeeping role of the United Nations, aid to developing
countries and disarmament, and suggests that the structure of
international society based on the Sovereign State could be
modified to lessen the risk of conflict. The extracts include
statements by Khrushchev, Mao Tse-Tung, Che Guevara, Dag
Hammarskjoeld, U Thant, Ho Chi-Minh, and selections from many
national and international documents.
