Description for United Nations Under U Than3
Hardback. This text explores a transformational period in the history of the United Nations, one during which the attention of the organization became increasingly focused on North-South issues of colonialism, neo-imperialism, and the unequal distribution of global wealth. Series: Partners for Peace. Num Pages: 272 pages, 2 illustrations, bibliography, index. BIC Classification: GTJ; JPSN1. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 148 x 221 x 22. Weight in Grams: 458.
Thant's ten years as secretary-general witnessed a series of new peacekeeping missions in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and the establishment of institutional structures for the discussions of North-South economic issues. But fiscal crisis brought near paralysis; the United States became increasingly alienated from the organization over the existing policies in Vietnam; and the Arab-Israeli War demonstrated the UN's inability to prevent crisis from escalating into war. By the end of Thant's second term, the position of secretary-general was more secure but far weaker than it was ten years before.
