The article presents the views of the author on the U.S. foreign policy and United Nations Security Council. After viewing the conditions of the people of Haiti, Bosnia and Rwanda one can easily concludes that the U.S. foreign policy is an inchoate, dithering and self-contradictory. The present Security Council system is highly politicized, and dominated by the concerns of a few large powers, especially the U.S. No doubt the U.S. would use its veto power to block some humanitarian interventions, say in East Timor. This would be an outrageous abuse of power, but perhaps also politically embarrassing.
