Description

Lords of Impunity book by Rasna Warah

A former UN insider’s account of how one of the world’s most influential organizations allows the most heinous crimes from the theft of donor funds to the sexual exploitation of refugees to take place under its watch without suffering any consequences. Lords of Impunity is an in-depth analysis of recent crises and events that the United Nations failed to tackle adequately, with a special focus on the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements.

It reveals how white privilege, misogyny and a culture of impunity at the UN create a toxic work environment that even impacts how UN projects and programs are implemented.

The book debunks the myth that the United Nations is a club of equals committed to preventing wars and protecting the world?s most vulnerable people. It contains a list of recommendations on how the UN can be transformed so that it can live up to its ideals and mandate.
