Global governance, think tanks and Angelina Jolie

Jonathan Stilwell and Nwabufo Okeke Uzodike (KwaZulu Natal): Global Policy Outcomes: The Role of NGOs. A review of Ethics in Action: The Ethical Challenges of International Human Rights Nongovernmental Organizations. An interview with Carla Del Ponte, Chief UN War Crimes Prosecutor, on bringing war criminals to justice. Global governance, think tanks, and Angelina Jolie: what do these issues have in common? A review of International Organizations and their Exercise of Sovereign Powers by Dan Sarooshi. In honor of United Nations Day on Wednesday, it's time for a little worldplay. From Public Justice Report, an excerpt from Hope in Troubled Times: A New Vision for Confronting Global Crises by Bob Goudzwaard, Mark Vander Vennen and David Van Heemst; and a look at why Europe is the future, America the past. A review of Surrender Is Not an Option: Defending America at the United Nations and Abroad by John Bolton (and an interview). The Right's UN witch-hunters claim another victim: The UN scandal pimps and an overzealous investigative office are going after another target. Ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea would be an easy win for Democrats, and a first step in re-engaging the United States in international diplomacy. Never heard of it? You're not alone.
