Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Why did President Trump's policy of "maximum pressure" on Iran result in "maximum resistance"?War on Iran: Power and the Limits of International Law answers this central question by tracing the origins of the 2026 Iran-Israel-United States conflict through more than seventy years of history. Beginning with the nationalization of Iranian oil and the overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953, it explains how sovereignty, energy security, and sanctions combined to reshape the regional balance of power in the Middle East. Drawing on the United Nations Charter and Security Council resolutions, the book shows how Iran adapted to decades of economic isolation through regional partnerships, its network of regional proxy groups, Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, and closer strategic cooperation with China and Russia. Rather than forcing strategic retreat, sustained pressure encouraged Tehran to build new forms of resilience beyond the Western-led international order. The book also examines the changing role of the UN Security Council, the growing influence of China and Russia, the power of the veto, and the emergence of an increasingly multipolar international order. It demonstrates that the main question is no longer simply how to contain Iran, but whether international law can remain effective in a world where power itself is changing.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Why did the international system, and in particular the United Nations Security Council, fail Palestine? Drawing on the landmark report of United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, Gaza Genocide: A Collective Crime (2025), this book examines how the law of occupation in Palestine and the responsibilities of Third States under international law to prevent and punish genocide, intersect with the political realities of the United Nations Security Council. Beginning with Israel's obligations as an Occupying Power under international humanitarian law, the book traces the legal responsibilities of Third States to prevent genocide, examines the concept of complicity through continued military, economic, humanitarian, and diplomatic support to Israel, and concludes by analysing the binding legal authority of the United Nations Security Council to prevent genocide. It explains why the Security Council failed to act, and how the veto power of the permanent members can transform legal authority into political paralysis, raising fundamental questions about the relationship between international law and global power. Written from the perspective of international law, the examination includes the UN Charter, UN resolutions, 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention, 1948 Genocide Convention, and decisions of the International Court of Justice, and equips readers to understand the legal arguments advanced by the Special Rapporteur and the international response.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Can a coalition assembled by the United States that bypasses the United Nations succeed where decades of international diplomacy have struggled? In 2024, Jared Kushner described Gaza's Mediterranean coastline as "very valuable waterfront property" and spoke openly about its economic potential after the war. Two years later, those remarks took on new significance when President Donald Trump established the Board of Peace and appointed Kushner to its Executive Board, where reconstruction, investment, and economic development became central to Gaza's future. Supporters see the Board of Peace as a bold attempt to break decades of diplomatic paralysis through security, governance, and reconstruction. Others warn that rebuilding Gaza without resolving Palestinian sovereignty, statehood, and Israeli military occupation risks turning a political conflict into a long-term development project. Trump's Board of Peace: Why the United Nations Cannot Be Bypassed compares the 2025 United Nations New York Declaration with President Trump's 20-Point Plan, and explains why the UN developed its peacekeeping, humanitarian, legal, and political architecture over nearly eighty years. At stake is more than the reconstruction of Gaza. The deeper question is whether powerful states can replace the international institutions created after World War II, or whether lasting peace still depends on the United Nations. Understanding the United Nations - Quick Insight is a series of concise, accessible books explaining the institutions, legal principles, and political realities that shape the work of the United Nations in an increasingly complex world.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Can the United Nations reform the veto when the states that possess it are the ones that must consent to changing it? VETO: Reforming the United Nations Security Council traces the origins of one of the most controversial powers in international diplomacy. Created as part of the Great Power bargain that made the United Nations possible in 1945, the veto gave China, France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States a permanent voice over decisions affecting international peace and security. The book explains why the founders considered Great Power agreement essential, and why that arrangement has become increasingly contested in a United Nations of 193 member states from 51 founding members in 1945. Drawing on the UN Charter and more than three decades of Security Council reform negotiations, VETO explains why possessing the veto matters; the Council can impose binding sanctions, create obligations reaching into the domestic systems of member states, and authorize military action. It examines demands for greater representation from Africa and other regions, competing reform proposals, and the positions of the five veto-wielding permanent members themselves. Yet Charter Articles 108 and 109 reveal the fundamental obstacle to structural reform; changes to the Charter ultimately require the consent of all five permanent members. The book also examines efforts to work around this barrier through voluntary veto restraint and the General Assembly's Veto Initiative.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Everyone ought to read this book. This should be in the education curriculum."-Amazon Review Since the founding of the United Nations in 1945, the United States has stood as both benefactor and challenger to the international system it helped build. Contributing 22 percent of the UN's regular budget, Washington remains indispensable to its survival. Yet its financial leverage and political influence often constrain the independence of UN human rights mechanisms. In July 2025, UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese presented her landmark report, Economy of Genocide, denouncing American corporations profiting from the Gaza occupation and destruction. Within days, the United States Government imposed personal sanctions against her, an unprecedented act that triggered global outrage within and beyond the UN. Sanctioned Justice: United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese exposes how the United States uses its dominance within the United Nations to shield Israel from accountability for violations of international law, war crimes, and genocide. Mandated by the UN to investigate human rights abuses in the occupied Palestinian territories, Albanese enjoys immunity under international law. Her case illustrates how Washington's tools, funding leverage, Security Council veto power, selective application of international law, and narrative framing, both uphold and undermine the very system it underpins. In a rapidly shifting international landscape, this "Quick Insight" book in the series Understanding the United Nations is written for general readers interested in current affairs seeking an insider-informed entry into complex UN processes. For students of International Relations, the series offers an accessible yet authoritative analysis of one of the most urgent tests of the international system today. This item is printed on demand.
