Genocide has been an on-going catastrophic reality of the past hundred years. Terrorism has intensified tremendously in the last fifty years. Despite a huge collection of treaties, conventions, declarations, and hyperbolic resolutions, practically nothing has been done to save the many millions of lives that were sacrificed on the altar of barbarity. And the complicity of the West has guaranteed the impunity of the mass murderers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In this masterful book, Professor Dolinger presents a scathing indictment of the United Nations. Debating with scholars of international law, Dolinger discredits and demoralises the UN. Writing clearly and convincingly, Dolinger delivers a message that will be meaningful to people of all walks of life: Let us close the UN and create a serious, authentic world organisation that will respect human dignity and defend the human rights of all peoples, of all nations.… (mere)

It was haphazard and unfocused. I didn't enjoy it. ( )

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
This is a scholarly, legal work making it a bit of a go for this reader. I admit from the onset my own bias against the US continuing its funding and membership in the UN. That opposition resulted from the continued ineffectiveness of the UN to address human suffering, starting for me with the mass murders in the far east during the late 1970s and early 80s. The suffering of the Cambodians then was extraordinary yet the world sat by and did nothing. Since that time the UN continued policy of doing absolutely nothing meaningful to prevent or punish world wide terrorism and mass killings or violations of the most fundamental of individual human rights is glaringly obvious.

Dolinger explores the history of twentieth century genocide, violations of individual human rights, and mass killings. The backdrop to the formulation of the UN policies on violations leading to those events are discussed; the legal formulations and their interpretations are presented; and example after example of the UN's failure to prevent or punish violations are enumerated. The author presents his information using the Jewish experience, as the State of Israel, as a broad backdrop. The enormity of the UN ingrained antisemitic sentiment is revealed in stark detail; the International Red Cross even receives bitter denunciation.

A reader will certainly conclude there exists a moral bankruptcy within the United Nations. Whether all reader's will be convinced of this lack of moral leadership by the UN will depend primarily on where their current ideological sympathies lay. It seems to me any one reading this startling and disturbing book will have to look at the sum total of the UN's achievements as amounting to little or of no value as deterrent to human rights violations and mass murder.
