The United States and the United NationsGroom, A. J. R. (Avtor) European Union (EU)international organisationsmultilateralismtransatlantic relationsThe United States (US) has always had a difficult relationship with international organisations in seeking to resolve its claims for sovereignty and its self-conception of being an exception to the need for multilateralism in our world of complex interdependence. For at least two decades, the US has had an ever more difficult relationship with the majority in the United Nations (UN). This essay analyses the US-UN relationship from a European perspective and argues that the time has come for the European Union in particular to take the lead in protecting the values incarnated in the UN Charter.20032022-03-30 13:44:55Članek v reviji135834UDK: 327ISSN pri članku: 1408-6980COBISS_ID: 22971229sl
