Though the United Nations will face numerous challenges on the world's oceans in the next decades, it has not yet developed the capability to operate effectively in the areas of maritime peacekeeping or enforcement. This study examines the various regional maritime challenges confronting the United Nations and describes several organisational and experiential models - ranging from Claiborne Pell's early suggestions for an International Sea Patrol, through various NATO standing forces and US Coast Guard models, to recent experience gained through multinational maritime co-operation in the Gulf - from which planners might extract important lessons. The author concludes with specific recommendations for the establishment of a UN Maritime Agency, seeing that step as crucial in the effort to ensure peace and prosperity on the world's oceans.
In this second edition, The Global Green Agenda adds several new sections and illustrations, plus a Foreword by Dr Tim Ball, a leading opposer of the green movement. He recognises that the author has given a sound basis for looking at the environmental movement and its Marxist-Fascist roots, essential to understand what is really going on today. The aim of the movement is simply to use green language to create a one-world government. All the marks are there - oppression, loss of freedom, loss of choice, anti-Christianity, bad science, genocide, heavy taxation, etc. The UN is making its bid to control all use of resources, with military backing. Ignore the signs at your peril! There is NO ECOLOGICAL CRISIS! It is all a myth... no warming, no climate change other than usual, and CO2 is not a pollutant. The IPCC is lying. Simple as that. And this book proves it.
This book examines UN naval peace operations, addressing the construction and assessment of authority with respect to a range of acts essential to the conduct of such operations. The focus is particularly upon operations as they relate to and impact upon the Territorial Sea. Within a conceptual approach emphasising the interaction of power and legitimation in the construction of authority, naval peace operations issues such as Innocent Passage, interdiction operations, and transitional administration are considered. The book concludes by proposing a conceptually and operationally sensitive approach to constructing authority for the conduct of UN naval peace operations in the Territorial Sea.
The purpose of this book is to describe and analyse the instrumental role European naval forces might play in developing and sustaining a future foreign and security policy for the community of European states. First, Europe's rapidly changing security environment is analysed with a keen eye for the possible development of a European `grand strategy' (foreign and security policy) for the near and longer term future. Derived from this analysis, the present context and possible future directions are established for a common European maritime strategy. Next, the theoretical challenges and the practical solutions are discussed vis-à-vis the primary tasks and capabilities of European naval force...
