Book Description
The UN's Three Failures: Gaza, Kashmir, and Ukraine
An Exposé of International Inaction and Institutional Collapse
In this devastating critique of the United Nations, distinguished international relations scholar Dr. Naim Tahir Baig presents an unflinching examination of how the world's premier peacekeeping institution has systematically failed to prevent or resolve three of the most critical conflicts of our time. Through meticulous research and compelling analysis, this groundbreaking work exposes the mathematical impossibility of UN reform and the human cost of diplomatic theater.
Gaza, Kashmir, and Ukraine serve as case studies in institutional failure, revealing how the UN's Security Council veto system transforms the organization into a protection racket for powerful nations rather than a guardian of international peace. From Gaza's ongoing humanitarian catastrophe to Kashmir's 75-year-old broken promises, from Ukraine's invasion to the broader pattern of selective intervention, Dr. Baig demonstrates how the UN operates exactly as its most powerful members designed it to operate-as a forum for managing conflicts rather than resolving them.
Drawing on his extensive background in international relations and contemporary political analysis, the author provides a comprehensive indictment of an institution that has spent over $180 billion on peacekeeping since 1948 while achieving a 1.1% success rate in meaningful conflict resolution. The book reveals how the UN's bureaucratic machinery has perfected the art of expressing "grave concern" while enabling the very atrocities it claims to prevent.
This is not another call for reform-it is a mathematical proof that the United Nations cannot be fixed and must be replaced. With unflinching honesty and rigorous documentation, Dr. Baig argues that every day the current system continues is another day that children grow up in refugee camps, families live under occupation, and civilians die in preventable conflicts while diplomats debate procedural matters in air-conditioned conference rooms thousands of miles from the suffering they claim to address.
