Ideas for Reform : Defense of the UN System
- A Stronger UN Strengthens America
-- U.S. support for an increasingly capable global peacekeeping system, with direct U.S. participation when it is needed for the effectiveness of the operation, is a priority U.S. national security interest, and should be so defined in national policy. That peacekeeping priority should then be reflected in the budget, the structure, and the mission of the U.S. armed forces.

- Is the UN obsolete? A response to Frank Vibert
-- The United Nations is and will remain a force for good, argues this senior and influential insider. The charges against it of irrelevance and impotence forget the world body’s ability to manage crises, contribute to regional security, deliver valuable programmes for the world’s poor – and represent a universality of human interest increasingly guided by democracy.

- The Value of U.N. Peacekeeping
-- In its relatively short life, the United Nations boasts a long history and experience in peacekeeping. Founded 58 years ago in October 1945, the United Nations has strived to resolve numerous conflicts around the globe. And indeed, there has been no shortage of wars and international disputes to keep it occupied and its blue-helmeted troops deployed.

- U.N. Peacekeeping and U.S. National Security
-- Strengthening UN peacekeeping is in the best interests of the United States, as we adjust our national security policies in a changing world. Clearly diminishing are the American profile in the world and the readiness of the United States to involve itself in crisis situations not directly threatening it. At the same time, episodes of violence and instability are likely to continue, and many of them will have worrisome possibilities for damaging important American interests.

- Why America Still Needs the United Nations
-- Multilateralism is a means, not an end, and there is no more multilateral body than the UN. That may make it unwieldy at times, but the UN's inclusiveness is the key to the legitimacy only it can confer. The organization thus remains an essential force in international politics, and one the United States benefits from greatly.
