Document Summary
1945, born out of mixture of realism and idealism. On the one hand, there were clear advantages to extending the anti-axis alliance of usa, ussr and uk into post-war period. On the other, high expectation of rejecting power politics of the past pawing way to peace and international cooperation. Un charter: renunciation of the use of force, settlement of international disputes peacefully, cooperation to ensure human rights and fundamental freedoms, recognition of national sovereignty and right to self-determination. > commitment to collective security and that collective action is alternative for old politics (national interests and maintenance balance of power). Un centres around general assembly = all member states who have a single vote. Important decision carried by two-thirds majority, but these are recommendations rather than enforcible international law. Security council: maintenance of international peace and security, responsible for role as negotiator, observer, peace keeper and peace enforcer. Big five (usa, russia, china, uk and france) are permanent veto powers.
