La guerre et l’avenir de l’ordre international
Traduit de l’italien par Annie Bidet-Mordrel
Luigi Ferrajoli
For the members of
the Bush administration, the clash between the USA and the UN over war in Iraq would
appear to have weakened or irrevocably discredited the UN. Luigi Ferrajoli argues that, on
the contrary, the conflict actually signals a revival of the UN, after a period characterised by
its servile submission to imperialism. Thanks to the current international situation, and
secure in the knowledge that world opinion supports its stance, the UN, by its refusal to
countenance the invasion, has for the first time demonstrated its capacity to comply with the
pacifist stipulations of the United Nations, giving them the force of international law. While
the author does not draw conclusions which are entirely optimistic, he does however
consider that the outcome of the invasion has modified the relative strength of the two
opposing parties : the US and the movement of resistance which has gained expression
worldwide.
