The UN’s ambitions and limits
Jussi Hanhimäki traces the United Nations from its origins and the League of Nations through its modern structure, including agencies such as UNESCO and UNICEF. The book examines the organization’s work in international peace and security, human rights, international law, and socio-economic development, weighing achievements against failures. Its second edition adds examples of Security Council activity and peacekeeping, and surveys the Council’s involvement in crises including Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine, Libya, and Syria. The organizing question is how far the UN’s capabilities can meet its broad ambitions—and what challenges shape its future role.
