Admission to the United Nations: Charter Article 4 and the Rise of Universal Organization
ISBN: 9789004173637 / Angielski / Twarda / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The United Nations began as an alliance during World War II.

This book gives an up-to-date account of admission to the UN, from the 1950s 'logjam' through on-going controversies like Kosovo and Taiwan. With reference to Charter law, the book considers how Article 4 came to...
