Beschreibung

Why does the United Nations invoke its responsibility to protect through interventions in some instances but not others? This book challenges the dominant narrative of the UN as an institution of equality and progress by analyzing the colonial origins of the organization and revealing the unequal power relations it has perpetuated.
