The Iraq war was a multiple assault on the foundations and rules of the existing UN-centred world order. It called into questions the adequacy of the existing institutions for articulating global norms and enforcing compliance with the demands of the international community. 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 Nations is the fount of international authority, but the United States has global power, soft as well as hard. 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.
