The Birth of the UN, Decolonization, and Building Strong Nations, As the Twenty-First Century Marches on, the global community is confronted with a number of complex issues, including climate change, poverty, epidemics, and terrorism. Despite its imperfections, the United Nations remains the primary international organization for addressing these challenges. The United Nations: Leadership and Challenges in a Global World explores the history, structure, and activities of this most vital institution. The series will help students understand the problems the organization faces-such as international discord and its own complex bureaucracy-as well as the UN's promise of global solidarity and security. In this volume, the origins of the UN are explored. In particular, its roots in the world wars of the twentieth century and its resulting focus on human rights and self-determination are considered. Also covered are the complex international relations that led to the organization's establishment and the vital role it has played in the decolonization and independence movements that followed.
