How can that be? After all, in the three and a half decades of the UN's existence we have seen increasingly bloody wars and 'police actions,' growing instability, a global epidemic of terrorism, widening hostility to American ideals and a corresponding decline in our influence. As author Robert W. Lee demonstrates, that apparent contradiction is an illusion. The UN charter is not an instrument for peace, but a blueprint for war; the natural function of the UN is not the easing of world tensions, but their exacerbation; and rather than a framework for liberty it is a harness to restrain opposition to tyranny..Robert W. Lee born and raised in Salt Lake City, is a graduate of the University of Utah, and spent a dozen years in Washington, C.D., primarily as a journalist and correspondent for 'The Review Of The News'..and 'American Opinion' magazines.." From the Foreword by Robert W. Lee - "Today the UN is increasingly regarded not as a sacred cow but rather as a troika composed of a white elephant, a Trojan horse and a Judas goat.".

Book Description: Albin Michel "Guide Clés", Paris, 2002. Broché-Souple carton.Illustré. Book Condition: Parfait. 1ere Édition. 150 x 240 x 25. 266 pages, ornées de planches photographiques en couleurs, gravures et cartographie en noir. Couverture éditeur, brochée, glacée violette, illustrée en couleurs, titrée en blanc. > Préface de Yves Coppens. >Résumé: Associant la solidarité humanitaire à l'échange culturel et spirituel, ce Guide Clés nous invite à une exploration inattendue de l'Amérique Centrale. Des vastes montagnes mexicaines aux paradisiaques îles panaméennes des Kunas, Daniel Wermus a rencontré des Amérindiens partagés entre modernité et âge chamanique qui, petit à petit, se réapproprient les traditions précolombiennes qui étaient les leurs, Héritiers de cultures aujourd'hui menacées, ils s'imposent comme les acteurs d'une véritable renaissance. Conviviaux, écolos, guérisseurs, magiciens, ces hommes nous offrent des solutions d'avenir pour réconcilier notre terre mère avec ses enfants. Dans les spt pays abordés -Mexique, Guatemala, Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica et Panama -Comme dans le reste du continent, les initiatives foisonnent malgré l'adversité: violence, exclusion, nature déchaînée. De la radio indigène citoyenne au collège qui forme les cadres mayas de demain, du village qui répond à la pollution pétrolière par des chants et des danses aux chamanes qui soignent les drogués, la démarche est semblable; reconstruire le passé pour redevenir soi-même au XXIe siècle. Made Tierra!, c'est aussi le cheminement d'un couple franco-suisse, Diego et Christine Gladis, qui ont abandonnés leurs brillantes carrières pour créer Traditions pour Demain, une ONG qui aide les peuples autochtones à recouvrer leur identité. Depuis quinze ans, ils osent affirmer: "nous connaissons des indiens heureux.". Bookseller Inventory # 002639

Book Description : 1981, 1st Edition Paperback. The relationship between rich and poor nations is to this day of concern to many nations around the world. The Brandt Commission pulled together the findings of hundreds of research institutes and international organisations from 1977 to 1979. Heartened by clear global commitment they were able to present a synthesis of the research to achieve their aim of suggesting desireable and realistic international development policies that would alleviate economic and social disparities and poverty in the Third World. This volume is a replication of those Brandt Commission papers submitted in 1981. Three parts of the book cover the discrete categories of : the history of developing countries and the impact upon them of international politics and economics; what the likely prospects of developing nations would be on the basis of given assumptions about international measures; how a new international economic order can be achieved. The scope of the findings is wide covering not only monetary and trade policy but also resources, environment, armaments, ecology, population growth, and the migration of skilled and professional classes. 764 pages.
