The United Nations Security Council and war : the evolution of thought and practice since 1945 by A V Lowe

"This is the first major exploration of the United Nations Security Council's part in addressing the problem of war, both civil and international, since 1945. ...This study examines the extent to which the work of the UN Security Council, as it has evolved, has or has not replaced older systems of power politics and practices regarding the use of force. ..This book is a project of the Oxford Leverhulme Programme on the Changing Character of War." - Editorial Reviews
