Unvanquished: A U.S.-U.N. SagaFor years the United States has treated the United Nations as an extension of its own foreign policy, while other member states especially smaller, less influential countries have looked to the United Nations to represent their collective interests. This conflict escalated in the fall of 1996, when the United States unilaterally decided to deny Secretary General Boutros Boutros Ghali a second term. In this book Boutros Ghali argues that U. S. policy

For years the United States has treated the United Nations as an extension of its own foreign policy, while other member states--especially smaller, less influential countries--have looked to the United Nations to represent their collective interests. This conflict escalated in the fall of 1996, when the United States unilaterally decided to deny Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali a second term.
In this book Boutros-Ghali argues that U.S. policy toward the United Nations threatens the fragile fabric of the international organization. By selectively consulting the Security Council, the United States has frequently condemned the United Nations to the status of scapegoat in international affairs, notably during peacekeeping missions in Bosnia, Somalia, and Rwanda. Meanwhile, the United Nations's financial crisis persists as the United States fails to pay its bills while seeking to further increase its already considerable influence within the organization.
In October 1995 President Clinton lavishly praised Boutros-Ghali for his "outstanding leadership," and thanked him for his "vision." Yet, a mere four months later, the Clinton administration decided that Boutros-Ghali would have to go. What happened in that short time to convince the United States that the secretary-general was now a liability? United States domestic electoral politics were decisive: While campaigning for the primaries, Bob Dole was scoring heavily by repeatedly ridiculing Boutros-Ghali. To neutralize Dole's challenge, Clinton denied the controversial secretary-general a second term, vetoing his reelection in the Security Council despite unanimous support from its other members.
Boutros-Ghali reveals the dramatic conflict and the personalities involved and considers the future of the United Nations in light of American domination.

I love this Coach crossbody purse for travel and for everyday!
Size: One Size, Color: Black
I Love this black genuine leather Coach Legacy crossbody purse! Its literally the perfect size for traveling. I was able to wear it under my coat or jacket for extra security when needed in Europe. This one is a soft textured black leather that is very versatile. I also have one in Patent leather that's really cute and a little more dressy. Its well made with solid zippers, and a comfortable strap with solid metal rings and clips. I definitely recommend the Coach Legacy Zip Top Crossbody bag in any color you like. Its also a pretty affordable price.
