Abstract:

The Soviet manipulation of U.N. rules runs counter in many cases to the spirit of the U.N. Charter. But the blame is not solely Moscow's. Washington is at fault for making so little effort to require that the letter and spirit of U.N. rules be respected. There are a number of steps available to the U.S. that at least might modify Soviet behavior.
