Is the United Nations Useful?

van den Haag, Ernest

Social Education, v53 n5 p289-90 Sep 1989

Discusses the usefulness of the United Nations. Contends that there is no international political body that can cause sovereign states to follow rules they do not accept. Notes that the United Nations has not yet been able to prevent or end a war. Suggests that many UN members resent U.S. power and influence. (KO)
