| Sumario: | Documents - mostly but not exclusively from the United Nations - are the star here, taking up 700 pages. Implicitly recognizing that the United Nations had only a minor role until the fighting ended in February 1991, nine-tenths of the documents date from the period since then, presenting the sanctions regime in all its military and economic complexity. They contain very little legalese or U.N. self-importance and lots of substance, including much hard-hitting analysis (a human rights report by Max van der Stoel, for example, cites Iraq as "one huge prison"). A reader looking for Boutros-Ghali's few perfunctory introduction lines might look in vain and conclude that they got omitted. Not so; the secretary-general is credited for the fine 113-page analysis that opens the volume. Lest it be assumed that this be a courtesy for the U.N.'s chief executive, note that he cut his teeth as a professor of international law and, in addition to other books in this same U.N. series, compiled prior such books. |
