Foreword

FROM the day the United Nations came into being, it has had to face diverse issues arising from massive changes in human affairs. As this transition has generated new demands and expectations, global concerns have vastly multiplied. These range from banishing the spectre of a nuclear holocaust to reducing poverty, eradicating racial discrimination and promoting the rights of the disadvantaged such as women and children, the handicapped and the elderly. Added to them have been emergencies of various kinds: some man-made like armed conflicts, others the result of natural disasters including famine and drought. On all these questions, the United Nations is the central instrument through which States can jointly devise the appropriate policies or courses of action.
