The Soviet View of the United Nations

Author

  • Dallin, Alexander

Abstract

The United Nations has patendy not fulfilled the high hopes which some of its sponsors had for it. A major share of responsibility for this failure has commonly been assigned to the Soviet Union, and not widiout reason. Yet the Soviet view and Soviet conduct have not been products of perversity or malice. They follow logically, first, from the world view held by the communist leadership, which sees the United Nations as another arena in the struggle between the two “world systems†of our age, and, second, from the Soviet experience as a minority power seeking to frustrate the efforts of the hostile majority “in control†of the UN.
