Africa: Africa in the United Nations system, 1945-2005

Though there have been numerous studies on the United Nations, only a few have dealt comprehensively with Africa’s relations with the world body. This book by Issaka Souare attempts to fill this lacuna by providing a systematic assessment of Africa’s relationship with the World body, from its foundation in 1945 to its sixtieth anniversary in 2005. Argues that there have been some real successes in Africa’s relationship with the world body - such as the joint efforts against the Apartheid regime in South Africa - as well as real failures - such as in the genocide in Rwanda.
