When millions around the world marched to protest the Iraq war and the U.S. drive towards empire, the New York Times dubbed global public opinion “the second super-power.” What empowered those protests was their alliance – if only for a brief moment – with governments unexpectedly willing to stand up to U.S. pressure, and with the United Nations itself, when it followed its Charter’s command to stop “the scourge of war.”
Bennis tracks the rise of U.S. unilateralism and the doctrine of preemptive war, looking particularly at Iraq and Israel/Palestine, and examines both the potential and the challenges ahead in reclaiming the UN as part of the global peace movement.
Phyllis Bennis is a fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC and the author of numerous books on the Middle East, the UN, and US foreign policy. She serves as international adviser to Jewish Voice for Peace, and was twice short-listed to become the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
