How United Nations and International Law can meet the problems of atomic age, is the aim of this book. Quincy Wright Professor of International Law and visiting Professor, Indian School of International Studies delivered these lectures.

This book is critical of both traditional international law and the United Nations. It is an attempt to suggest some interpretations, if these bodies must meet the problems of our times.

We at the Life Span Research Foundation consider this book profoundly useful and immensely relevant to the study and examination of the United Nations and International Law in the present context of world politics, international relations, peacekeeping operations and security problems.
