LEGITIMACY OF POWER : THE PERMANENCE OF FIVE SECURITY COUNCIL BY DILIP SINHA (HARDCOVER)

The Security Council remains mired in its World War II origins. The victors, the US, Russia, China, Britain, and France, continue to control it with their permanent membership and the veto. The book traces the origins of international security cooperation and scrutinizes the moorings of the Security Council’s powers in international law.
