The States Directly Concerned: Article 79 of the United Nations Charter

In: American journal of international law: AJIL, Band 42, Heft 2, S. 368-388

Abstract

Statesmen, politicians, political scientists, journalists, and radio commentators seem to agree on one thing about the United Nations: success or failure depends upon the spirit animating its members. As Eagleton says, "The system [embodied in the United Nations Charter] does not automatically guarantee security to anyone, and whether it will provide peace and human advancement will depend entirely upon the willingness of its Members to coöperate toward these ends."
