"THE UNITED NATIONS" PART-1
Note:  Students will observe that the diverse aspects of the United Nations, specially the facts and features
related to its vast, complex and far-ranging structure have been fairly comprehensively outlined in the two
presentations.
To obtain further information about the UN, students can conveniently access the latest reports and
developments from the website: www.un.org. Particular attention should be paid to the proposals presented
by the UN Secretary-General in 2005 identifying different options for re-structuring the UN Security Council.
To benefit from a more historical perspective of the UN than a purely contemporary perspective, students
are provided with this handout.
The text of this handout is an excerpt from chapter # 1 of the book titled: "United Nations, Divided World:
The UN's Roles in International Relations", edited by Adam Roberts and Benedict Kingsbury, published by
Clarendon Press, Oxford, UK, 1990.
