GrantLeiden ;Boston :Martinus Nijhoff Publishers,2009.1 online resource (364 p.)Legal aspects of international organization,0924-4883 ;volume 50Description based upon print version of record.90-04-17363-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Admission under the UN Charter -- The early years : implementing Article 4? -- The road to universality : the admissions of 1955-6 -- Universality affirmed : the eclipse of substantive admission criteria -- Admission after the package deal -- Universality achieved : micro-states, neutral states, and the residue of empires -- Consequences of admission.The United Nations began as an alliance during World War II. Eventually, however, the UN came to approximate a universal organization - idlest, open to and aspiring to include all States. This presents a legal question, for Article 4 of the Charter contains substantive criteria to limit admission of States to the UN and no formal amendment has touched that part of the Charter. This book gives an up-to-date account of admission to the UN, from the 1950's ‘logjam’ through on-going controversies like Kosovo and Taiwan. With reference to Charter law, the book considers how Article 4 came to accommodate universality and what the future of a universal organization in a world of politically diverse States might be.Legal aspects of international organization ;50.International organizationElectronic books.International organization.341.23/3Grant Thomas D.1969-857068MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459613403321Admission to the United Nations2447938UNINA
