League of Nations Defined

International organization founded in 1919 to promote world peace and cooperation but greatly weakened by the refusal of the United States to join. It proved ineffectual in stopping aggression by Italy, Japan, and Germany in the 1930s, and it was superseded by the United Nations in 1945. (p. 763)

  • Reform the Security Council before it destroys the United Nations: If any doubt remained that the United Nations is in need of drastic reform, it has to have been evaporated by the Security Council's "activiti es" since the beginning of Israel's brutal offensive against the Gaza Strip on December 27. During this time, the council has failed utterly to act in a manner befitting the urgency due a civilian bloodbath, repeatedly delaying action aimed at ending the crisis and initially producing a weak "statemen t" when a firm resolution was obviously required. Representative s of various member states have alternately sulked and dithered, leaked nasty comments about one another to the media, threatened to walk out, and even sought additional delays. And after a decidedly watery resolution finally was arrived at late Thursday night in New York, both Israel and Gaza's Hamas leadership dismissed it within hours.
