Synopsis Is the United Nations truly an international peacekeeper? Are we the Third-World Nations-really represented at the UN? Is the UN a democratic institution protecting the weaker nations from tyranny and authoritarianism? Yes-that is what we have been deluded into thinking. The history of the UN’s approach to the various international conflicts proves that it has always been only safeguarding the interests of the veto-wielding powers. In Reforming the United Nations Nazrul Islam exposes the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Analyzing its history and lineage and identifying the flaws in its Charter, Islam argues that the proposed reforms of the Un will at best be cosmetic. The truth may be hard to stomach. But the proof is contemporary history itself. During the Kosovo bombings, the UN did not show up its face. What its stand is about the Palestine question is a well known secret. When Iraq was invaded, the United Nations was tongue-tied. In Reforming the United Nations. Nazrul Islam is as hard-hitting as in his Islam 9/11 and Global Terrorism and as polemical as never before.
