The United Nations was founded in 1945 to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, to create the conditions necessary for maintaining justice and equality for all, and to promote social progress.
Yet the UN system generates violence both internally and externally.
Externally, as the media and the public's reactions against an instrumentalized organization have shown in countries such as Sierra Leone, Iraq..., and there are many testimonies.
Internally, little is known about this violence, because not only is it difficult to be recruited by the United Nations if you're not part of the right networks, but the law of silence is rigorously respected, as high salaries oblige. And yet this violence exists!
Based on real-life experience, this book analyzes the reasons for this reversal in the application of the Charter. It provides food for thought for reforms towards greater democracy and transparency, which will perhaps enable the United Nations to avoid the same fate as its predecessor, the League of Nations, which disappeared for having failed to prevent the human disaster of the Second World War.
