Download or read book The United Nations Peace and Security written by Ramesh Thakur and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-08 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preventing humanitarian atrocities is becoming as important for the United Nations as dealing with inter-state war. In this book, Ramesh Thakur examines the transformation in UN operations, analysing its changing role and structure. He asks why, when and how force may be used and argues that the growing gulf between legality and legitimacy is evidence of an eroded sense of international community. He considers the tension between the US, with its capacity to use force and project power, and the UN, as the centre of the international law enforcement system. He asserts the central importance of the rule of law and of a rules-based order focused on the UN as the foundation of a civilised system of international relations. This book will be of interest to students of the UN and international organisations in politics, law and international relations departments, as well as policymakers in the UN and other NGOs.

Book excerpt: "Magnificent. . . . Seldom has a study of the past combined such erudition with such exuberance." —The Guardian "No-one with an interest in the Second World War should be without this book; and indeed nor should anyone who cares about how our world has come about." —The Daily Telegraph Pre-eminent WWII historian Michael Burleigh delivers a brilliant new examination of the day-to-day moral crises underpinning the momentous conflicts of the Second World War. A magisterial counterpart to his award-winning and internationally bestselling The Third Reich, winner of the Samuel Johnson prize, Moral Combat offers a unique and riveting look at, in the words of The Times (London), "not just the war planners faced with the prospect of bombing Dresden or the atrocities of the Holocaust, but also the individuals working at the coalface of war, killing or murdering, resisting or collaborating."

Download or read book Ulpando Hebraico written by José Ricardo Pereira Tavares and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-14 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Muitos de nós, judeus, aprendemos Hebraico apenas para não fazer vergonha ao ler a parashá no dia do Bar-Mitzvá. Baseado em uma longa tradição de dicionários de Hebraico representados mais fortemente pela obra de Rifka Berezzin, o "Guia de Aprendizagem e Conversação" que o leitor tem em mãos é não só um dicionário que apresenta um vocabulário básico de números, calendário, clima e tempo, cores, animais, insetos, frutas, legumes, instrumentos musicais, partes do corpo humano e genealogia mas também, para aqueles que visitam Israel, um guia de dicas do que falar nos lugares, como fazer compras nos diversos tipos de loja e facilidades para usar os transportes, incluindo um detalhado mapa do país. É também um auxílio para (inclusive para os goyim) desenvolver habilidades judaicas de conversa, com amigos e parentes. Seja com Judeus reformistas, conservadores ou ortodoxos, não se impressione se quando estiver usando este guia, no entanto, você seja constantemente interrompido. Quanto mais interrupções, mais entusiástica pode ser a conversa. Três ou quatro pessoas falando com você ao mesmo tempo é a regra em Israel. Não importa como você pronunciará as palavras desse dicionário, de qualquer forma você será corrigido. Frente a isso, não se corrija, ao contrário, aprenda cada vez mais Hebraico a ponto de tornar seus erros excitantes. Esse esforço certamente fará suas relações melhorarem." Daniel Belik
