Selective responsibility in the United Nations : colonial histories and critical inquiry / Katy Harsant.

• Introduction: Selective responsibility and reading through history -- From sovereignty to sovereign equality -- Resistance to imperialism and the two leagues -- The United Nations and colonialism : re-narrating San Francisco -- The rise of Asia-Africa and discourses of development -- After Bandung : independence and non-alignment -- From non-intervention to R2P.

• "Why does the United Nations invoke its responsibility to protect through interventions in some instances but not others? This book challenges the dominant narrative of the UN as an institution of equality and progress by analyzing the colonial origins of the organization and revealing the unequal power relations it has perpetuated"--
