Book Description
In 1985, faced with conflicts involving Iran and Iraq, the United Nations Security Council's permanent members joined forces for the first time to mobilize the U.N. against threats to international peace and security. Cameron R. Hume's authoritative account follows the transformation of the Security Council from a stage for acrimonious public diplomacy into a forum where governments collaborate to settle regional disputes. Hume underscores three interconnected themes: changes in Security Council diplomacy during forty-five years of successive conflicts involving Iran and Iraq (including Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait); the Council's progression from invoking gentler means within its authority (under the U.N. Charter) to a more muscular assertion of its will; and the growing congruence between diplomacy as practiced in the Security Council and the bilateral policies of the major powers. Based on U.N. documents and the author's firsthand experience, The United Nations, Iran, and Iraq is important for students and practitioners in international organizations, multilateral diplomacy, and conflict resolution.

Book Description
The war between Iran and Iraq erupted in September 1980. Like all armed conflicts, this one was a breach of world peace and a threat to international security. As such the Security Council, the United Nations' executive arm had to step in and try to put an end to the use of force by two member states of the organization. The present study will endeavor to determine the reasons why, in this particular instance of the Iran-Iraq war, the Security Council has not been able, in a more timely and more decisive fashion, to carry out its responsibilities under the U.N. Charter in safeguarding and restoring peace and security in the world. The scope of this study is limited to examining the handling by the Security Council of the war between Iran and Iraq. It is intended as a case-study of the powers and the possible actions of the Security Council in international crises. This study does not, therefore, dwell at any length on the unfolding events of the war, the successive stages of military action and the politics of the conflict as far as the antagonists or third parties are concerned.

Book Description
The Iran-Iraq War is one of the largest, yet least documented conflicts in the history of the Middle East. Drawing from an extensive cache of captured Iraqi government records, this book is the first comprehensive military and strategic account of the war through the lens of the Iraqi regime and its senior military commanders. It explores the rationale and decision-making processes that drove the Iraqis as they grappled with challenges that, at times, threatened their existence. Beginning with the bizarre lack of planning by the Iraqis in their invasion of Iran, the authors reveal Saddam's desperate attempts to improve the competence of an officer corps that he had purged to safeguard its loyalty to his tyranny, and then to weather the storm of suicidal attacks by Iranian religious revolutionaries. This is a unique and important contribution to our understanding of the history of war and the contemporary Middle East.

Book Description
The nature and scope of UN Security Council decisions - significantly changed in the post-Cold War era - have enormous implications for the conduct of foreign policy. The UN Security Council offers a comprehensive view of the council both internally and as a key player in world politics. Focusing on the evolution of the council's treatment of key issues, the authors discuss new concerns that must be accommodated in the decisionmaking process, the challenges of enforcement, and shifting personal and institutional factors. Case studies complement the rich thematic chapters. The book sheds much-needed light on the central events and trends of the past decade and their critical importance for the future role of the council and the UN in the sphere of international security.

Book Description
In this book experts examine the main features of Iran’s foreign policy from 1980 – 1990, assessing relations with the UN, the superpowers, Europe, the GCC and Iraq. Although the Islamic revolution made Iran a significant force in the international arena, it is argued that the ending of the Cold War and the rise of Iraq as the dominant power in the Gulf are now creating a very different set of foreign policy challenges and options.

Book Description
This thesis examines the role of the UN Security Council in the two cases of conflict in the Persian Gulf region. The Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988), and the Kuwait crisis resulting from the occupation of Kuwait by Iraq in 1990, are the focus of this work in which different factors and elements that influenced Security Council decision-making towards the two conflicts will be evaluated. After a theoretical debate on the background and theories about international organisations and decision-making in general, and that of the United Nations in particular, this study makes an in-depth examination of the two cases. After a comprehensive examination of the role of the Security Council in every stage of each case, this thesis then comparatively examines the role of a variety of factors, elements, and circumstances which contributed to the way that the Security Council handled each case. In both cases, the political will and national interests of the permanent members of the Council, especially that of the United States, were the main factors which played a prominent part in Security Council decision-making. Furthermore, the role of external players such as the Secretary-General, and the regional organisations were important. As for the first case-study, the Iran-Iraq war, the thesis shows how Iranian diplomacy in general and the Iran-US relationship in particular, contributed to Security Council decision-making towards the war. Concerning the Kuwait crisis, this study argues that, in addition to the above factors, the big shift in East-West relationships, and the declining role of the Soviet Union in international relations, the role of the other parties outside the Security Council and the part played by the western media, are among the most substantial factors that profoundly contributed to the Security Council's response to the Kuwait Crisis.

Book Description
The Iraq war was a multiple assault on the foundations and rules of the existing UN-centred world order. It called into question the adequacy of the existing institutions for articulating global norms and enforcing compliance with the demands of the international community. It highlighted also the unwillingness of some key countries to wait until definitive proof before acting to meet the danger of the world's most destructive weapons falling into the hands of the world's most dangerous regimes. It was simultaneously a test of the UN's willingness and ability to deal with brutal dictatorships and a searching scrutiny of the nature and exercise of American power. The United States is the world's indispensable power, but the United Nations is the world's indispensable institution. The UN Security Council is the core of the international law enforcement system and the chief body for building, consolidating and using the authority of the international community. The United Nations has the primary responsibility to maintain international peace and security, and is structured to discharge this responsibility in a multipolar world where the major powers have permanent membership of the key collective security decision-making body, namely the UN Security Council. The emergence of the United States as the sole superpower after the end of the Cold War distorted the structural balance in the UN schema. The United Nations is the main embodiment of the principle of multilateralism and the principal vehicle for the pursuit of multilateral goals. The United States has global power, soft as well as hard; the United Nations is the fount of international authority. Progress towards a world of a rules-based, civilized international order requires that US force be put to the service of lawful international authority. This book examines these major normative and structural challenges from a number of different perspectives.
