Buy CONSTITUTION MAKING UNDER UN AUSPICES | Law Books , FOREIGN BOOKS , A Social Legal Perspective

In 1949, United Nations Constitutional Assistance (UNCA) was conceived to promote the Western liberal constitution.  This book scrutinizes UNCA and its off-shoot, UN/International Territorial Administration (ITA), including their historical origins and revival from 1960 to 2019. Sripati argues that although the United Nations (UN) uses UNCA to help developing sovereign states secure debt relief, it undertakes UNCA to ‘modernize’ them with a view to ‘strengthen’ their supposedly weakened sovereignty. By doing so, the UN is seeking these states’ adoption of a Western liberal-style constitution, thus violating their right to self-determination.
